    Default Who is the Little Egret's friend?

    This one puzzled me.

    I cropped the pic a bit but left the Little Egret in view so you could see the size of the other bird relative to it.

    Have you any idea as to what the bird on the right is?

    I think the perspective is making what appears to be a juvenile Moorhen look bigger than it actually is Catherine.

    Thanks, Rolf!

    I wondered about that. Here is another pic of the same bird - not so clear though!

    Probably showing more of the recognisable detail in this one Catherine, definitely a juvenile Moorhen.
