Little Egret

Unusually this morning I had the hide to myself, and a Little Egret was standing quite close just to the left hand side.  The light was a little flat, but still allowed for some nice photos.  I think it's probably one of the ones that have been around lately; it has the tiny blackish central plumes to the wing and mantle feathers, noticed on one of the recent birds.
