I'm not very good with a camera, although I do take lots of pics when I remember to think of it, or in the case when driving, if I can con someone to do it for me.
I have just a Fuji "Finepix S6500fd" which I only use in "auto" mode. It does what I need, but I'm hoping to learn how to use it properly without it being on auto all the time.
But anyway, whilst away at Xmas down on the coast, we had these little guys around us a fair bit, so I took a pic ;)
I saw a misty/foggy bird photo in a old National Geographic magazine years ago and went out early the next day to get one for myself.

If you want to see inspiring photos of all kinds I advocate going to YMCA and other Op-Shops and picking up an armful of old National Geographics. Some places want 20c each, some 40c. Its a way cheaper option than expensive coffee table books. Of course, nothing beats your local library.

You got the exposure spot on Inc and the pose on the Egrets is very nice as well.
