✨ Today a close-up of the Purple Heron ✨
With its elegant flight and stunning colors, this is truly one of the most graceful herons to encounter. Such a majestic presence above the water! 🪶💜

The first bird with raised wings for @alan678.bsky.social ‘s #BirdOfTheDay is this purple heron trying to keep its balance after landing.

Went to #Arkemheen this morning with a birding buddy and spotted a purple heron for the first time! We also spotted spoonbills, snipes, grebes and more. I just gotta sort through all the 2300 photos... 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #purpleheron #cows #polder #dutchlandscape #unprocessed #ardea #purpurea

Only a handful of youngsters present and one adult in the field, but too far off. I think most have left for the trek to Africa now. See you next spring, birdies and thanks. 🪶 #purpleheron #purperreiger

The purple herons hibernate in Africa, south of the Sahara. They use several routes to get there and those routes can differ per individual. I’m going to miss all those birds, from the tiniest bluethroat to the big purple heron. Safe travels! 🪶 #purpleheron #purperreiger

Okay, so I went one last time to see the herons. Not many juveniles in the trees anymore, but a lot of them flying together. Almost time to go. 🪶 #purpleheron #purperreiger

Unfortunately they found the black terns’ nests. Not so predator proof when it comes to clever young herons. But this late in the breeding season the terns have already moved further down the river. 🪶 #purpleheron #purperreiger

The younger herons were very active, looking for food to fatten up for the long journey. 🪶 #purpleheron #purperreiger #birdsNL
