a white bird with a black cap, on the edge of the water as it grabs some food. you can see the reflection as well. A long legged wader and its reflection on the lake. the bird has a long straight bill, and its wings and head is black, the rest of the body is white. in the background, out of focus, more of the same birds are looking for meal. there are 4 immediate egrets in the frame, 2 of them strutting forward, and one between them is landing down. further behind is an egret looking at the flying bird. on the right there is a smaller bird with greyer back/wings - but a beak that resembles that of a gull. there are parallel path made of dirt between salt pans. further behind you can also see reflection of trees in the water, and a lot of small birds too (out of focus) a brown bird with a pointy head (and beak) and yellow legs - sitting on a black branch sticking out of the water -- you can see the reflection of the same in water. the background is lots of green grass, and you can see reflection of the grass. there's also plastic bottle visible.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BranchingOut i.e. bird(s) on branch(es), and I have the most relaxed sploot on a branch by a raptor, or maybe any bird ever.

a raptor seated on a branch with its body rested on the branch, you can see one of it wings also let lose. the bird is brown, with yellow beak, head is turn towards the right (photographer's perspective) and there are branches all around.
