Hello #birdoftheday friends! For @robcrank68.bsky.social 's #longnecks theme I am sharing this great egret who spotted me as it did some early morning fishing in Roatán.

Nice examples for #BirdOfTheDay Rob. I think this image gives the impression that it’s a reflection but it is 2 Cormorants showing off their #LongNecks in the River Clyde. #Birds #BirdingScotland #BirdTherapy #UKwildlife #NatureCantWait #StateofNature2023 #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin
