Purple Heron

Hello,

this year we were able for the first time watching the Purple Heron in the rearing of the Young.
Here you can see my favorite family.

Love this species. Love this image. It looks like an Audubon folio print. Wonderful sharpness and d-o-f on the two adult birds.

Where and what country?

Thanks for the comments about the Picture

Arthur,
i take this picture in Germany, Nature reserve Wagbachniederung. In recent years, they have always been brooding deep in the reeds. But this year they came to the reed edge.

Peter,
I have below some space. I will try it

Cheers

Holger
