今週からは南国のちりシリーズに入ります
ムラサキサギのちり
近所に飛来した個体を見たことはあったけど、本場のちりはやはり色柄が全然違って鮮やか。
ワンポイントのオレンジの飾り羽がちりに垂れかかっているのが心憎い。

A study on the #PurpleHeron on #Avocetta reinforces the indication that the protection of minor landscape elements as […]

Purple Heron lives in wetlands from western Europe to eastern China and from Africa to Indonesia. #malaysia #birding #birds #heron #purpleheron
Two Purple Herons (Ardea purpurea) in elegant low flight over a calm, algae-covered body of water in a Berlin park. The leading bird glides with its long neck fully extended and wings spread wide, showing the striking blue-gray flight feathers, rich chestnut head and neck with black stripes, and bright yellow bill and legs. The second heron follows closely behind in a similar graceful pose. The soft, diffused daylight beautifully highlights their plumage against the blurred green background of trees and water.
A wild chase of two purple herons (Ardea purpurea). Not quite the best light for a photo bird still interesting to watch

Oooh I do miss these pterodactyls. 🪶 #PurpleHeron #purperreiger
✨ 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.
Good morning peeps and have a good one! 🪶 #purpleheron #purperreiger

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
I missed a few of @alan678.bsky.social ‘s #BirdOfTheDay, but can participate today in any bird flying, like this purple heron. 🪶 #purpleheron #purperreiger
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
It’s almost september. It’s going to be warm tomorrow. Shall I or shan’t I one more time … 🪶 #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
Looks like bad weather, but it’s me shooting through the waving reeds. 🪶 #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
It’s been raining all morning so no long walk for me. Sharing more of yesterday’s herons and other archive pic. 🪶 #purpleheron #purperreiger
🪶 #purpleheron (juvenile) #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
Look at the size of those toes! 🪶 #purpleheron #heron #purperreiger #wildlifeNL
