It was very exciting to see the egret and Blue heron chasing each other, but at the time that happened, there were many trees around, shots were impossible, but that was some sight to behold!  I accidently deleted the original photo of the two birds with reflections during the time I couldn't upload any file. That pic was clearer. :)

Great Egrets are rather magnificent and getting really close to them can make you
a bit shaky. I sometimes deliberately slow my breathing in order to relax. If you
have a subject with bright plumage then your exposure might be off. For birds
you might try center-weighted exposure. White plumage may require some iris
compensation to the left to capture white detail even if the surrounding part
of the frame ends up under-exposed. Egrets are hard. They certainly seem to
be fine with you in the vicinity.
