My wildlife photography: the great egret, Egretta alba. This is a much rarer sighting than the common little egret; the plummage is very similar, but the size is not. As the name implies, great egrets are way bigger, about the size of a great heron; apart from sheer size, another way to identify them is by the beak, yellow in the great egret and black in the little one. Too bad the photos aren't great, but this was as close as I could get, with a full zoom.

So here you are again with your wildlife photography 😁😍. It's a good picture because i know how hard to capture wildlife as I can't capture it 😂

The great egret is a common bird we see here in Florida all the time very beautiful.
