White Wings Unfurled

This morning, the boys—Ben and Charlie, my dogs—and I were out for a walk when I paused to photograph a small bird perched in a tall, dead tree across an open field. While focusing on the bird, I noticed a great egret (Ardea alba) flying towards me. Quickly shifting my attention, I began snapping pictures. The egret soared directly overhead, giving me the chance to capture this breathtaking shot.

"This image captures a great egret in flight, soaring directly overhead against a vibrant blue sky. The bird's long, graceful wings are fully extended, revealing intricate feather patterns. Its slender neck is slightly curved, leading to a sharp, yellow-orange beak. The egret's pristine white plumage contrasts beautifully with the sky, and its black legs trail elegantly behind as it glides effortlessly. The photograph exudes serenity and highlights the bird's majestic presence in mid-flight." - Copilot

🐦 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.

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
