2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Reddish Egret, Siesta Key, United States of America
The Ambush

Species: Reddish Egret | Location: Siesta Key, United States of America

I was photographing a young reddish egret hunting fish in the surf when I noticed a large expanding figure in my bokeh. At the last second I adjusted my focus and caught 'the ambush' of the larger reddish egret as it pushed the smaller one out of the good hunting area.
