A great egret walks with purpose in front of the mangrove trees at sunset looking for mudskippers or crustaceans. As the last light hits their feathers. I liked the framing of the environment and purposely waiting for them to pass the tree to frame this photo

I started in photography during 2019 when I was gifted a camera - I had always been a nature fanatic and my background in observing and watching nature over the years enabled me to pick up and apply this photographically. Since, spending more time in nature I also want me photos to create a connection, increase empathy and importance for protecting those that can suffer harm through human behaviour.
