Great egrets and cows

Today I was taking a walk through the Pla de Llerona enjoying the warm autumn sunshine, when I saw a small group of Great Egret (Ardea alba) take off in front of me. Luckily one of them stayed sitting on a fence, allowing me time to get my camera out and take a few photos of him on the fence and as he took off. These birds are striking in their size and their pure whiteness. As I continued my walk I saw a few more in a field with some cows. What a treat to find such striking birds within walking distance of home.
