Hi Michael,
yes they are 2 different Intermediate Egrets. We were lucky enough to see both of them same place, same time both went into the water and then preened themselves afterwards and wandered around giving us a few lovely poses that my wife Deb was very pleased be able photograph. Very lucky to see this all in one day, it was quite hot but a nice breeze. We can remember it very well.
thanks,
Rod and Deb
