Walking down the Sacremento Trail at Schoenmakerskop this afternoon, I came across this little egret.
What I found interesting is that I have never seen them frequenting the rocks along the shoreline before, but then as their diet consists mainly of fish, it figures - but I did not realise that it consisted of salt water fish. They are common throughout southern Africa and are generally found in shallow waters.

Aren't they beautiful? I love watching them and the herons fishing. The picture of patience!
One gets so used to seeing egrets on grassy areas and amongst cattles that it is strange seeing them on the rocks by the ocean.
I remember seeing egrets in Egypt, mostly in the souther part around Luxor.
Great photos.
I love the second photo...especially the reflection in the water~!
