| This image features a Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea) in mid-flight, its slender silhouette outlined against the clear blue sky. With its neck tucked in an 'S' shape, long legs trailing behind, and broad wings fully extended, the bird exudes power and elegance. The plumage, with dark hues and subtle purplish and chestnut tones, adds a regal touch to its appearance.Found in marshes and reed beds, the Purple Heron is more elusive than the Grey Heron, and its slow, deliberate flight conveys a quiet mastery of the air. This image captures a moment of perfect suspension, ideal for projects on migratory birds, wetland conservation, or Iberian wildlife photography.
