The most beautiful specimen of Cattle Egret I was able to capture up to date - full breading plumage.
Unfortunately I was very restricted in means of framing (I have no idea how many times something in my brain was asking "why didn't you take the zoom?". But just the word "zoom" was causing some slight pain in my shoulders: Nikon 200-500 - I have really good copy (IQ) and as heavy as all other copies...). Canon guys with their 100-500 Rf should be very happy (well, I read somewhere here that that lens is "crippled" - because of the f7.1 on the long end
!). At close to ~medium distances I usually shoot at f8, rarely at f7.1 (at 500mm) but it could be just me... On other hands I have to recognize that if you are going after some "special" effects or shooting from longer distances it could be +/- problem (I avoid shooting from long distances - at least on my location you are getting to much disturbed air between the lens and the object!).
Anyway - here is my Cattle Egret:
