This is the same great egret than the previous picture. Grande aigrette.

Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

Same family as the herons I am used to seeing in London and, as with them, it is the feet that truly fascinate me. A direct link back to prehistoric times for sure. What a wonderful shot.

Cela me fait penser à des ailes d'insectes... si fines et délicates... mais j'airais aimé voir l'oiseau en entier aussi... mais c'est net et fort bien cadré.

@Florence: Merci Florence. J'ai juste coupe l'image un peu a droite pour la presentation. J'ai une autre photo moins zoome avec l'oiseau en entier mais j'hesite a la mettre vu que j'ai deja poste une vue complete de cet oiseau.
