This gorgeous Little egret was foraging for food along the old Glamorgan Canal at Forest Farm Nature Reserve in north Cardiff yesterday.

I took a short video to show how it uses its feet to stir up the sediment in the bottom of the canal to release tiny invertebrates and fish to feed on. It was fascinating to watch, and seemingly quite effective, and I couldn’t help but think it was almost like a dance, a leg shimmy, a Michael Jackson moonwalk in reverse.
