I was one of those moments. There seems to be a lot of egrets around here at the moment. Quite often I have a dozen or so on the lawn or in the next door paddock.
Wonderful images. I also love ‘Sentinel’ and ‘Pansy.’ But I love the platypus too, because it reminds me of searching for the elusive animal on my most recent visit.
Wow, the egret one is wonderful, you captured that early morning smoky atmosphere perfectly. You are so lucky to have a platypus about, even if it won’t oblige you with a portrait. Lovely photos.
It was early morning, and I took several sjots, but this was the best one because I could crop out the houses over the road. I do love it when I see the platypus, which can be quite often in the right season.
