Together for a Short Time


 


In early May, I was lucky enough to watch a Great Blue Heron joining a Great Egret to hunt together.

At the beginning the Great Blue Heron followed his new "friend" and seemed to  enjoy Egret's company.









The proximity to the Great Egret didn't bother the Great Blue at all but I couldn't say the same about the Great Egret.










In the end, the Great Egret decided to break away and go fishing on its own.  

It's difficult to say what brought these two birds together. My guess is they found the great fishing spot and decided to share it for a short time. 








The Great Egret is fishing alone. 


Generally, life is good!

  1. Fine !! This way of using each other increases the success rate of anglers, even though they are competitors.

    Feliz fin de semana.

  3. Amistades ocasionales. Quizá por su afinidad como especie. Pero a la hora de la comida desaparece la afinidad.
    Un abrazo.

  5. Das ist fast wie aus einem Märchenbuch, dass eine ungewöhnliche Freundschaft zeigt. Sehr inspirierend und wundervoll.
