2006-10-22 - Great White Egret
I spent some more time today with my new teleconverter / lens combination. Even with the extra focal length, it can be hard to get close enough to birds and other wild animals. They're very cautious and I had to spend about 20 minutes slowly making my way towards and around this Egret. I managed to get quite close in the end but it was still very watchful. I think I might have to build a hide if I want to get some serious bird shots...
