Squacco heron (Ardeola ralloides).

These Squacco heron (Ardeola ralloides) were photographed with Nikon D500, Sigma supertelephoto 300-800mm, f / 5.6, 1/2000 sec, ISO 100. Thanks for your comments

Well composed good capture of a moment, Giangiorgio! Technically also very good! Complimenti! PDE

What fantastic looking birds, Giangiorgio. Excellent capture of the action. Best regards, Paul.

Paul many thanks for your beautiful comment

Pierre I am glad you liked it ,grazie mille for your nice comment

Quite a beautiful, natural, organic and dynamic image, Giangiorgio. The herons' colors complement those of the negation very well, resulting in a palette that, as a whole, warrants many minutes of viewing . The contrast is effective as well. Are these birds a mated pair? If so, which one appears to be off to find food or material for a nest? - - My best always, michael - - Ciao!

Thank you very much Michael for your beautiful comment always very appreciated, in fact they are a couple intent to nest, both work in pairs alternating

Warren mille grazie for your beautiful appreciated commnet

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

alas we don't see this species here in the Netherlands. These birds look great, and there's a story in this photo taht makes it more than just a document. The heron on the left is going out to get some food, while the one on the right is staying at their 'hangout'. Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you very much Vincent for your beautiful appreciated comment, in Sardinia we have many species of herons but we lack the geese that do not migrate to our island, ciao Giangiorgio
