The little white egret

Now the heronry has hatched most of the eggs   the Nile is becoming like a snow patch    some are too young to fly and most perish on the first day of falling out of the nest,  or even pushed out of the nest,  many  I saw with broken wings   most survive the fall and make for the open waters of the Nile  then stand at the waters edge wondering what is next.

. 

some like this little one head out into the murky waters and find a log or flotsam to stand on  this one has a broken wing    and had to struggle to get to safety.for the rest of the photos click on the link  http://birdinginegypt.blogspot.com/2010/05/little-white-egret.html
