Egrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.

Absolutely not :D
I was only visiting on holidays, so not familiar with the local wildlife. I googled it after I shot the bird and acc. to Wikipedia Egrets are Herons.. Since this one is white I figured it's a white heron. But googling some more triggered by your question I understand now they are a distinct species and not a heron?

That photo is sharp! Camera, lens, settings?

Tamron 50-400 on a Sony Alpha 7 Compact II.
Settings I'll have up look up, think shutter was around 1/1000, aperture wide open, full zoom as I didn't want to disturb the bird.
Also this was perhaps 30min after sunrise, good light always helps :)

Excellent shot! Black legs and feet with yellow bill, most likely a Great egret.
