Egret in the mangroves

I spent another weekend at Phillip Island but came down with a cold yesterday so didn't manage to get out birding. Driving home this morning, my virally-challenged head needed a rest so I stopped at Tooradin to grab some breakfast from the bakery then drove to Warneet to sit and eat it by the side of the inlet. Right where I stopped, an Eastern Great Egret stood preening among the mangroves. I manoeuvred the car so I could get the camera out and ready without disturbing the bird and then approach the edge of the inlet behind some old pier pilings.
