I know the frustration of neighbors who spread poison everywhere. We had fewer frogs this year, and I blame the farm next door that switched from hay to corn. That takes spraying. <br /><br />On a happier note, the egret is gorgeous, and so are your photos of it!MyMaracashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277857661670053625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1785795575454502378.post-58636141681614447432011-12-08T16:50:06.990-08:002011-12-08T16:50:06.990-08:00Oh poor Biggles, but he did have a few minutes of ...Oh poor Biggles, but he did have a few minutes of joy.

It's sad to read about the toxins that your neighbor spread on his fields. There'd be a great uproar here if an agricultural toxin is killing frogs! Frogs are playing the role of canaries in the mines. Your egrets are beautiful. It's easy to overexpose whites. I have a button on my camera to dial in neg EV (exposure compensation) which makes it easy, but I often forget to change it back to zero :-(Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1785795575454502378.post-57788440416043266622011-12-06T23:11:01.555-08:002011-12-06T23:11:01.555-08:00Little Egrets started colonising Britain about twe...Little Egrets started colonising Britain about twenty years ago and are now quite common.
