An oil painting. A large elephant stands facing forward in a golden grassland, its ears spread wide and tusks curving down. Two white cattle egrets sit atop its head, while a third stands in the tall grass beside it. Soft blue mountains and a cloudy sky form the distant backdrop, creating a calm savanna atmosphere.

"Suspended in mid-air against a flawless, azure sky, a Western Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) drifts upward with wings fully outstretched—each feather illuminated like a page from a sunlit scroll. The wings curve gently, the primary feathers splayed just slightly at the tips, catching the light with a gauzy brilliance. Its plumage is predominantly white, but soft buff-colored tinges dust its chest and crown, hinting at its breeding season splendor. Its slender yellow bill points upward, giving it the look of a compass arrow chasing open sky. Long, dark legs trail gracefully behind, straight and still, offering no resistance to the air it slices through. The egret’s body seems to hover in perfect balance—silent, effortless, eternal. The stark simplicity of sky and bird creates a moment of serenity, like a brushstroke paused in motion. A subtle signature—“@Swede's Photographs”—rests in the lower right corner, grounding the image with the artist's quiet presence." - Copilot

We reden op een provinciale weg en we zagen deze 2 staan, precies bij een parkeer plek. Dus snel camera uit de achterbak. Ik had ze nog nooit gezien in het echt.

🌎 Western cattle egret (Ardea ibis) The western cattle egret is a small, white heron with a yellow bill and legs. Originally from parts of Eurasia and Africa, it has dramatically expanded its range globally. Breeding adults display orange-buff plumes. They thrive in grasslands and agricultural areas, often seen alongside livestock, feeding on insects disturbed by the animals. Their behavior includes colonial nesting and a diet primarily of insects, though they also consume other small animals. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Beto_MdP via Pixabay ECPV

The #WesternCattleEgret (Ardea ibis) is a species of heron (Ardeidae) found from the tropics to warm temperate zones. It is naturalized on #Galapagos. Nesting in the mangrove forests it moves during the day to the highlands where it feeds on ticks on cattle but also giant tortoises. #SeamanJourney
Happy #TwosDay!
A pair of #WesternCattleEgret. 🤍🤍
