I have very vague memories of seeing this rare egret in the Philippines almost 20 years ago. But back then I wasn't carrying a camera, so a lot of fantastic moments have left me from those years, even of big, rare and spectacular creatures. I feel very sad about that, and was probably the main reason to get myself a camera gear. This particular egret was one of two that we saw on a short boat ride with Mr. Daeng.
