The Egret Hide

Over the last few days I have  been taking photos of Little Egrets from an ad-hoc hide on the brook near to my house, where, since it was recently dredged, the Egrets have taken advantage of the shallower water. They have been able to fish in areas where previously they were unable to gain access. I devised a plan to allow me to get close to one particular bird who seemed to habitually returning to fish both at dawn and dusk. I described in my last post how I constructed, what I am calling a hide, but is really just a camouflaged cover. I have posted photographs to show how it looks. Then there are again, photos of the Little Egret who came within 10 feet of it this evening at around 5.30.
