As long as you can spot their feet there's no mistaking this Little Egret for any of the other egrets in Sri Lanka. their feet are sometimes the muted greenish yellow you see here, and sometimes highlighter yellow, but never boring.

I don't usually point my #mirrorlens towards the sun... but that moment of idiocy netted me this shot. #Nikon #D800 #Tokina SZX #400mm f/8 #wildlifephotography #flare #lensflare #silhouette #bird #birdphotography #birdinflight

On a winter’s day in the Kampina, I crossed paths with one of my favorites: the Crested Tit (Lophophanes cristatus), or kuifmees in Dutch.

A small, energetic bird with its unmistakable crest—like a tiny mohawk—usually hidden high in pine canopies. Not an easy one to spot, let alone photograph. But after days of snow, this little one came down, likely searching for food beyond its usual shelter.

There it was, hopping in and out of the snowy branches, quick, alert, and full of character.

Moments like these make the list grow. The robin, the kingfisher, the long-tailed tit… and now this one. Each encounter a reminder of how much life surrounds us, if we just take the time to look.

One planet. One responsibility. In a universe where life is rare, this feels worth protecting.

Captured in the Kampina.
