Birds with the white plumes ....

I have decided to cover a different bird every week  . It's going to give me insights into whatever I have done so far and share it with all you guys over there. I will start my post with'' Egrets '' ....birds with a white plumage which develop long ornamental plumes during breeding season . When I started  bird photography would go about clicking the birds around my place  . Egrets are generally found around habitation especially the cattle egret but the backdrop is not too appealing  .Then I happened to chance upon a place called Talave in Navi Mumbai . During high tide the low lying areas get filled up ,making it an ideal joint for photographing  these waders .

Egrets are generally found around marshes ,lakes and wetland areas .They are wading birds and feed on small fishes , amphibians ,reptiles and crustaceans in shallow waters.

Different species of egrets are  found ....

Great white egret ,intermediate egret, little egret and western reef egret .

Though the clicks  are very noisy but they are very close to my heart .

 I find all these clicks very serene .

I will be back again with some more clicks of the egrets ....till then .

Happy Birding ...
