Patient little egret - Little egrets are not an uncommon sight in North Wales and these were observed at The Spinneys reserve just a few miles from home. Standing totally still, they seem to wait and wait and wait for a fish, hence the title of the print. The 'part' bird in the top right of the image and the receding wave patterns, add movement and visual interest to the composition, making it a more than just an illustration of the species.
