November 8

Meet Eddie the Egret

He hangs out in front of the bait shop in the mornings waiting for the people who work there to give him fish.
Not really afraid of humans, I was about five feet away from him when I took this with my iPhone. There were people walking around behind me.

Amazing how brave hungry animals can get!

I hope he/she isn’t too trusting. A very smart bird. V

They shouldn't feed wildlife because it creates situations like this - a wild bird not afraid of humans.

"Alright, I posed for you. Now where's my fish?"

Waiting for a handout.I wonder if it thought you had a fish in your camera bag.

A very clever Eddie that knows the best eating places. Splendid shot Walter. David.

at least Eddie is getting fish, and not eating human fast food like gulls and crows do...smart guy to exploit the bait shop opportunity..

Opportunistic wildlife. A bit sad. Nice capture.
