And hunting for bullfrogs are the great egrets (Ardea alba). Figure 1 shows one with a companion stalking the lush field of lotuses. They were so very striking in the purity of their whiteness, set against the deep green of the lotus pads and the now fading lotus flowers. I love trying to capture something of the habitat of the birds and animals that I photograph.
