🐦 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.

Swede’s Photographs

Ascent to Paradise

I considered cropping this image but decided, "No, it is fine just the way it is." The photograph features a great egret (Ardea alba) ascending gracefully to the treetops from a pond below. Its ascent, to be honest, was prompted by my presence—I had encroached on a secluded bird habitat. Hoping to get a closer view, I ventured down a steep bank to the clay beach by the pond. Unfortunately, my actions had the opposite effect, and the birds flew away.

"This image captures a great egret gracefully flying upwards towards the treetops. The bird's wings are fully extended, showcasing its majestic form. It ascends against a serene blue sky with soft clouds scattered throughout. The treetops at the bottom feature vibrant green and yellow leaves, complementing the egret's pure white plumage. The photograph is signed "© Swede's Photographs" in the lower right corner, adding a personal touch." - Copilot

Swede’s Photographs

The Crossing

This image reminded me of Emanuel Leutze's 1851 painting, 'Washington Crossing the Delaware.' However, this scene takes place on the Red River, not the Delaware. The figure perched on the edge of a log is a great egret (Ardea alba), which, in my imagination, strikingly resembles someone standing magnificently at the bow of a boat. Accompanying this grand figure is a crew of three turtles toiling behind.

Step into my photo gallery, where the elegance of nature comes alive with a majestic great egret and its loyal crew of turtles navigating a peaceful river.

"The image shows a beautiful scene of wildlife interaction. A great egret stands gracefully on a partially submerged log in a serene body of water. The egret is pristine white, with a long, elegant neck and a yellow beak, standing upright with a regal posture. To the left of the egret, three turtles are also basking on the log. The turtles vary in size, and their shells glisten in the light. The water surrounding the log is calm and reflects the light, creating a shimmering effect. In the background, there are rocks along the edge of the water, adding to the natural setting. The photograph captures a peaceful moment of coexistence between different species in their natural habitat. The photograph is signed "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom left corner. It's a serene and harmonious scene." - Copilot
