Cattle Egret, early morning light with nesting material. Manual exposure is a must in a situation where you have a very dark background and a white bird. So, manual exposure taken from a green tree and then 2 or even 2 1/2 to 3 stops under exposure is correct for this situation.
Sony a1, Sony 600mm f4 @ f4, 1/4000 sec. iso 100, zone focusing, manual exposure, 30 frames per second, RAW
I like to follow the bird until it starts to flare it's wings for landing.

That's an incredible shot! These guys don't get the attention that they deserve!

Top notch image here and I agree, with any of the auto exposure method here except when using exposure compensation methods, the bird would be overexposed. But I will reiterate, Sony's zebra technology when properly set up may be an easier approach. Have you considered trying it?
