The Great White Egret is part of the Heron family. It is a large bird and can stand up to about 1 metre with an all white plumage. The above photo is looking almost head on and the bend in the neck is almost obscured. The photo below provides a great profile of the Egret which was taken at dusk on the banks of the Chobe River. A small ting of sunset is reflected from the water.
