Side by side

The shot shows this well known wading bird in its typical and motionless waiting pose for a prey to pass.

It’s the first time I saw 2 Grey Herons hunting side by side as this bird is usually a solitary hunter.
I wonder what will happen there if just one fish or frog is passing by…….

    Great shoot, I never saw two grey Herons fishing together, also but maybe they only want not to be alone ..

    Klasse Mark. Echt stark. Ich seh auch viele Reiher, aber nur von weitem und sobald ich näher komme fliegen sie weg.
    Sei herzlich gegrüsst von Christa
