An image from some years ago… An isolated tree with many grey heron nests, from a distance not to disturb them. In fact, they were accustomed to tractors and farmers working all around…

A beautiful silhouette shot of this rookery tree, Antonello. I like the position of the heron in the frame.

Antonello, the landing bird shows up very well against the nicely colorful sky. The trees do have a good collection of nests with at least a couple of herons standing on their nests. Nicely seen and shown.
