Observation details
In watching this egret feed I was impressed by two things. First, the apparently very high number of small fish in this seasonally flooded field along Wilkinson Road. Second, the proficiency of this bird to catch and eat them. In at least a dozen attempts observed, it only missed once. On one occasion (last photo) it even caught two fish! Was comical to watch the bird repeatedly try to position both fish for the ‘gulp’, only to eventually drop the second fish. Well fed bird!
