Great Egret and Grey Heron / Silberreiher und Graureiher / Ardea alba, Ardea cinera

Replacement Ardeidae in the place where usually the Bittern is supposed to roam. It just was not around for this visit, and nothing to be done about. :o( / Zwei andere Ardeidae als Vertretung fuer die Rohrdommel die sich sonst im Winter an dieser Stelle zeigt. Diesmal blieb sie leider aus und alles warten war zwecklos. :o(

Nice photo and I'm thinking their feet are very cold! Love the tall grass in the background.

Well, as I said in the text, not quite as nice as I expected... however we repeated the walk a few weeks later, and my special buddy, the heron with the brown camo parka, showed especially well at this ocassion. ;o) Perhaps it was to dry and easy to reach in the frozen bullrush patch by the embankment that day for it's purposes.
