Dear Dave,

These were taken from Batu Kawan, Penang. shot back in September - October 2010.
I've not been back there recently, so I'm now sure if they are there this time.

OK - thanks very much!

Chinese Egret !! my target...

Good effort! Never seen the Pacific Reef before. Is it common there?

nice series. I think I should pan my lens to egret from now.

I think they are quite common.
They are normally found along beaches, rocky shores or island.
I think they prefer saltwater :p

Yeap.... Pacific Reef Egrets are reasonably common along the coast, preferring rocky shores than beaches. And one point is that it is much of a loner, does not like to group up like some other egrets do, but of course at the coast, the Chinese may also lurk in the winter, care is much needed to differentiate a white morph Pacific Reef and a wintering Chinese.

I think you need to redo the pacific reef egret because lighting is harsh.. no regret

Yup, you are right.
These are record shots only.
Now, I need to find 1 closer to home...
