Fishing tactics: Solitary or communal?

Last Saturday we had a sunny and warm day (one of the first this summer). But ... for the early birds, the day started grey with thick fog. An impression: Communal fishing of Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo/Aalscholver) and a lonely Great White Heron (Egretta alba/Grote Zilverreiger) on “Het Beuven, Strabrechtse Heide” around 7h00 AM.

Hoi Gerard,

Mooie sfeervolle foto's! En die zilverreiger staat toch wel heel mooi te schitteren in die mist.

Groeten,
Robert

Prachtige sfeervolle opnames met die mist. Vooral die met de Zilverreiger is schitterend, alle aandacht gaat naar deze reiger.

Gr,

Remco
