Purple Heron / Purpurreiher / Ardea purpurea

No april joke -- only a few months after our first Lake Constane encounter we met this bird in its spring finery on german ground. Alas it stood in the far back of the Eisele ditch, an artificial drain of the last western Schussen deadwater, and it was backlit. /Kein Aprilscherz -- nur mnate nach unserer ersten Bodenseesichtung ueberhaupt trafen wir diesen Vogel im Prachtkleid auf der deutschen Seite an. Leider stand er ganz hinten im Eiselegraben, einem Durchstich vom letzten westlichen Schussenaltwasser im Gegenlicht.
