A water bird...

I believe this is a species of egret. Not sure which though :)

Some lovely detail on this fine bird

What a nice model Nic ! I love his attitude. Is he a punk or some sort of rock'n roll star ! What a hair cut ! :-)

this is almost surreal, Nicholas! I had to double check it, it has a human factor in it, doesn't it???? super duper awesome, 5 stars from me!

Unbelievable image, Nicholas - just superb! Looks like he's wearing a doctor's coat!

Great detail in your shot, fascinating picture. I'd probably have titled it just "bird" (that's my knowledge of ornithology)

I believe that is a cattle egret. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_Egret
