After taking a 1000 shots of the Snowy Egrets dancing on the water one morning at Blackpoint Drive, I turned to concentrate on the Great Egret action\u2026trying to catch wings open and some of the confrontational displays. Again, this was in a pool where there were at least 50 Snowies and 25 Great\u2019s feeding avidly, so I had non-stop action to choose from. Spoiled for choice!
