I love this photo!! I love the proximity of the person there with the fishing net for context; they and the egret are doing the same thing. Plus the profile of the egret is really neat. That neck is quite question mark shaped
Poor dude is gonna get poisoned fish if he goes near Menindee.
I'm not sure what exactly is going on with the colors in the background, especially the fishing net, but the thumbnail is accidentally a bit obscene.

My mind may be in the gutter, but I'm staring up at the birds.
