Original - Eastern Great Egret (Ardea modesta), non-breeding plumage, Gould's Lagoon, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
This bird has been over-wintering fairly close to my home for the last few years. It is difficult to approach though, typically spooking within 50 meters or so. With some luck it landed on a nesting box near my position at the time.
