Yesterday morning I went on a short excursion to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (www.isimangaliso.com), one of my favourite places in KwaZulu Natal. I mainly went to do a bit of bird photography but I also captured two true wetland specialists in one shot.
Great Egrets are waders who hunt for their prey in shallow waters. They are the largest white Egret, about the same size as a Grey Heron.
Waterbucks are an antelope species very well adapted to wet, marshy areas. An oily substance prevents them from getting hoof rot, even when standing for a long time on wet ground.

On my photography drive last night I did not only spot the Lions, Zebras and Impalas I also took pictures of a few birds.
Here are three of the images: A Cattle Egret in breeding plumage, a male Spur-winged Goose and a Laughing Dove.
