A Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) photographed in close-up detail in Fayyum, Egypt, displaying its characteristic pure white plumage, slim S-curved neck, and long sharp black beak. The bare facial skin between the eye and beak appears gray to bluish-green, a coloration that intensifies to brighter hues during the breeding season. The Little Egret is a common wading bird of the heron family (Ardeidae) widely found across Egyptian wetlands and Nile Delta habitats.
