Surveying the fishing grounds

For some reason I never saw many of these. Maybe because there are too many purple herons around.

I love all the little grass islands as there are always some different water birds on them.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my faithful followers and friends! Without all your favs, my night heron would not be nr 1 on the TT. It sure made my day and is very much appreciated. 😍
