The Beautiful Great Egret is a Highly Accomplished Fisherman

The Beautiful Great Egret is a Highly Accomplished Fisherman features a photo of a great egret as it fishes off the coast of Cedar Key, Florida. It reminds readers of how well adapted these birds are, with their amazing eyesight, for this type of fishing.

Focused Stare I was absolutely captivated by the incredible focus of this majestic great egret (Ardea alba) as it gracefully hunted for fish in the shallow waters near Cedar Key. It was just one of several birds that I watched and photographed on my last trip out there. As I watched, witnessing this mesmerizing sight reminded me of the delicate balance of nature and how every creature has its…

went to bolsa chica again today, it’s very pretty this time of year. saw approximately five billion lizards and several birds; the most interesting was a least tern diving for some fish! was so cool seeing it just drop right into the water :)

i also saw a great blue heron nest in a palm tree - two chicks still young enough to be reliant on parents for food. they’re very noisy when being fed, i kind of thought there was a squabble happening but it turned out to be dinner time

#shut up kais #i also saw some barn swallows which are very very cute #as well as snowy & great egrets #there was a blue heron just chillin waiting for fish to show up near the nest. saw it catch a few. they're very patient #not sure if it was the parent though

i cant wait for the cycle of the megadrought when the tap no longer runs and the stores stop getting shipments and all the temperate climate trees dry up and die out and the cardboard suburban neighborhoods go up in flames and the people use the last of their gas to beg to be let into the last air-conditioned refuges of the city and they clog the roads and they all have to walk under the merciless sun and the power grid is fried by 126 degrees of punishing heat and then tropical storms flush all the debris of the great sprawl into the concreted watersheds and turn it all into a toxic sludge of charred wood, moldy drywall, human excrement, pavement, broken glass, insulation, petroleum, bodies, tar, gravel, sand, all settling together into a fucked-up soil that eventually becomes less fucked-up and the cattails and tule reeds cover the thoroughfares dammed up by the debris and fish make their way up stream and the egrets and cormorants eat them and the most cockroachesque humans crawl out of earthen basement dwellings to sling rocks at them and eat their flesh and the fishes' flesh and the cattail roots and they get cancers in old age for generations as the air-conditioned people succumb to the mist of diseases that thrive in the crowded halls leaving only the fish eaters and bug eaters and lonely shepherd here and there to roam the earth and carry the memory of what drywall or powergrids or petroleum even meant.

Fishlake Meadows, Romsey: A special place

This nature reserve is equally as uplifting to visit in the spring and summer months when exotic Hobbies dash through the sky and colossal Stag Beetles roam the canal side path as it is in winter when Gadwall, Pintail, Pochard and Teal immerse me in a world of waterfowl.

A magnificent raptor is a star attraction to this reserve in spring and summer, Ospreys (particularly one) standing like grand statues and offering breathtaking moments of natural wonder when they fish. Many raptors adorn the skies here, Marsh Harrier in its prime habitat, ravishing Red Kite, Buzzard and Kestrel. Sparrowhawk also a key species in this oasis of wild in an urban area and a non-bird of prey evolutionary lookalike is a mesmerising sight and sound here on spring days, the Cuckoo. Its similarly in appearance to the predatory Sparrowhawk able to fool the adults of its host species into leaving their nest so it can insert its imposter egg. Other key waterbirds to see here include bight Egyptian Geese and Greylags, Great Crested Grebe, Common Gull, Snipe and dazzling Water Rail always a species to cherish seeing. Another of the main stars of this reserve is an elegant giant which is gripping the south of the country now, Great White Egret. Purple Heron and Glossy Ibis are two rarities I was lucky to see here. I was ecstatic to see a Kingfisher catch a fish along the canal when reaching the reserve as was I when I was so fortunate to see a splendid Cetti’s Warbler after being surrounded by their bright and cherry calls evocative of a reedbed paradise. Sedge and Garden Warbler other amazing warblers I’ve seen here. Other passerines it’s a treat to see here include Wren, Bullfinch, Blackcap, Treecreeper, captivating Nuthatch, vibrant Stonechat and Reed Bunting. A Roe Deer a delight to see.

It's an insect haven too with Hairy Dragonfly one of the first spring dragonflies to see and the gem of Banded Demoiselle another key species with Migrant Hawker enjoyed here too. Speckled Wood and Green-veined White fly the flag for beautiful butterflies and Brimstone moth and Grey Birch are among sensational moths I’ve seen here. Drinker moth caterpillar and vigorous ruby Cardinal beetle are other key insects I’ve seen here. Nursery web spider was another of nature’s fascinating little stars which has thrilled me here. Onto plants and there is an array of colour here throughout the seasons created by stunning species such as wood avens, comfrey, meadowsweet, cuckooflower, forget-me-not, hemp agrimony, bird vetch, yellow iris, water lily, hogweed, traveller’s joy and marsh marigold. A sight of intricate and alluring turkey tail fungi clinging to a stump beside the canal at one time lit up by the glorious winter sun was wonderful.

This brilliant nature reserve with its distinctive dead trees and thriving reedbed, wetland, canal and woodland habitat is a star of a reserve that has risen over the past few years and an exciting vision of how to use land for nature and let a landscape be transformed. A lesson of hope, a place I always come back from inspired.
