An Intermediate Egret (Ardea intermedia) hunting for seafood for lunch. It did manage to get a prawn a while later. Got the shot but the egret was facing away a bit.

This was usually preening and resting time but the egret had either probably had not enough in the morning or it was nesting.

The medium egret (Ardea intermedia) sounds like something ornithologists made up to sell more egrets, but this one was real and striking. January 2026, Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center, Quezon City, Philippines.
