"Africa Bird & Birding: December '07 / January '08"

It is a great achievment for me as a young photographer to be published in a magazine with such high standard as Africa Bird & Birding. The image below of a Little Egret quickly cought the attention of Editor, Eve Gracie.

Leaving a trial of droplets as its yellow-painted feet break the water's surface, a Little Egret Egretta garzetta patters across a lagoon in pursuit of its prey. Little Egrets, beautiful birds and efficient hunters are a joy to observe and photograph, their immaculate white plumage sets them well apart from other wetland species.
