Birds of the paddyfield

In the way back to my hometown (Teluk Intan), will went through Sg Besar, Tg Karang which have paddyfields. I knew there are a lot of birds there. Instead of taking the main road, I went through the rural road that went through the paddyfield.

The egrets are here. cattle,little,intermediate egrets. The problem is to get close enough..I wish i'm using electric car here..hehe. All pics are taken from car..

A journey is a journey by itself, if a 2 hours trip turned to a six hour trip, and I enjoy it..why not?
