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 ..bw
