Sometimes, a wader can stand motionless for hours without anything happening.
At other times, everything just happens at once.
It's interesting to see how much action can be packed into a mere fraction of a second, specially if this is recorded for posterity by a fast focusing, high frame rate birding gear.
Here's a three-frame, 10 fps burst taken of a successful fishing strike by this graceful wader at the fishponds of Sto. Tomas (La Union) recently.
__________
Great Egret (Egretta alba, migrant)
Habitat - Uncommon in a variety of wetlands from coastal marshes to ricefields.
