(Nycticorax nycticorax)

Hello TN Friends!
Today I present another picture from my last encounter with this species while fishing... a pic taken from the car in a grey morning... the day before when I found this place on the river side I only saw them eating shrimps.This day they caught lots of fishes in front of me.Without any kind of fear to my presence...

About the fish :):The Mullet... please visit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullet_(fish)

About the bird is the second time I photograph it but this time on it's feeding place.Is a common bird on the Mondego valley/estuary but in general they don't allow great approximation.

Have a good day and thanks for viewing...

Hi Jose,beautiful face to face after the profile capture of your last post,magnificent like the other post and made in the same top quality! Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

Bonjour Jose,
Encore une très belle et très réaliste scène de la vie sauvage habilement restituée ; sans vouloir la dévaloriser je préfère ta précédente publication sur le même sujet car il y est mieux représenté.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
