| Egrets at roost Niigata, Japan September 16, 2012 |
Yesterday Mr Honma took me to a roosting area for egrets. There seemed to be at least 3 kinds: Great, Intermediate and Little Egrets as well as a sprinkling of herons, including Grey and Striated.
We were there from just after 4 til just after 6. It's getting darker earlier but it's still hot. Today is 35c in Niigata. A good day for posting on a blog.

Wow, now that is a lot of egrets...........nothing like that number up here.
Never seen so many egrets like that in Japan before. I, too, like to photograph egrets especially at dawn or dusk. There are so many ways to play with the light and their white feathers.
That's some roost Russell and good to see all the various species together too and compare them in different light. We can get roosts here, and Stu will be interested in this, up too 100 or more Little Egrets at Leighton Moss any time now.
Awesome numbers!
Brilliant photos, especially the 2 where the egret brings a frog in its beak!
What a site, congratulations Russell!
