white herons landing

Wonderful shot of the birds landing in the field. Quite a number of them. What draws them into this area?

hi Mike,
about your question: the Fucecchio marshes is the largest wetland area of Italy circa 2000 square hectares, known for bird-watching and landscape, is a protected area and also a stop for the migrations of different species of birds from north Africa to Europe, for example for coots and storks, according to the seasons.
J'm pretty lucky to live only 10 Km. away
ciao

That's wonderful that you are that close to a large wetland area, Loris. I need to make some trips to some real wetland areas around here. Perhaps a little later on, I will be able to get out more. Of course it will be cold here soon enough. Best wishes. Mike.
