I learned why often gulls swim near herons when the tide is high enough to let them by watching this pair. When the heron caught a fish, the gull was hoping it would drop it and it was ready to make a dash and run. :)

Often herons will have to toss a fish into the air to get it into their beaks at the right angle to swallow. This is when opportunity might arise. :)

The tide is coming in, the wind is calm, the sun is setting. It's cloudy in front of us, but warm light is shining into the scene from over our left shoulder. The water and sky look lavender. Standing in the water, which is now up to the bottom of its body, is a heron, standing upright. Behind and to its right, a black-backed gull is floating. In the upper right we see a blurry image of another gull in flight.

🐦 My first great egret 🇩🇪
📝I had seen great egrets before and photographed them 3-4 times. But the photos were just to show that I had seen some.
ℹ️ The Great White Egret (Ardea Alba) grows up to 100 cm tall and has a wingspan of up to 170 cm. It feeds mainly on amphibians, fish and aquatic insects.

🐦 mein erster Silberreiher 🇩🇪
📝Ich hatte schon öfter mal Silberreiher gesehen und auch 3-4 mal fotografiert. Nur waren das eher „Beweißfotos“. Jetzt konnte ich mal einen etwas besser ablichten.
ℹ️ Der Silberreiher (Ardea Alba) wird bis zu 100 cm groß und bekommt eine Spannweite von bis zu 170 cm. Er ernährt sich vor allem von Amphibien, Fischen und Wasserinsekten. Silberreiher sind in Deutschland vor allem Durchzügler, aber es gibt zunehmend Exemplare mit festen Standort.

A Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) along the shores of the Capilano River in North Vancouver, British Columbia. I made this photo quite a long time ago and was experimenting with shutter speeds. The slows shutter speed won in that contest. Herons are one of the few birds that would have been still long enough for me to pull this off!

A great blue heron sits on a partly moss covered rock with a river in the background. A longer exposure photo - the water is very smooth and blurred as a result showing some light streaks in the otherwise dark grey background.

Hallo meine lieben Lebensformen,
in Wien gibt es in Florisdorf eine Kolonie Graureiher. Sie brüten auf einer Insel und können von Land wunderbar beobachtet werden ohne sie zu stören.
Am Wochenende war ich kurz in Wien um liebe Menschen zu treffen habe aber die Zeit am Sonntag vor der Heimfahrt genutzt die Reiher zu besuchen. Graueiher im Prachtkleid sind schon toll und die "Kleinen" sehen immer aus wie Punks. So süß.

Tiere sind Freunde und kein Essen oder eine Plage.
Bleibt gesund, glücklich und verliebt.

Der schlimmste Seelenschmerz ist das Fernweh.

Hello my dear life forms,
In Vienna there is a colony of grey herons in Florisdorf. They breed on an island and can be observed wonderfully from land without disturbing them.
I was briefly in Vienna at the weekend to meet some lovely people but used the time on Sunday to visit the herons before travelling home. Grey herons in their finery are great and the ‘little ones’ always look like punks. So cute.

Animals are friends, not food or a nuisance.
Stay healthy, happy and in love.

The most terrible pain in the soul is wanderlust.
