I love photographing great blue herons because of their fearlessness, grace, and beauty.

I looked up after seeing a shadow on the ground. It was a Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea) coming in to land. It scouted the place, then moved down the river bank. Spotted at Sungei Seletar, Singapore on 3 August 2025.

Purple herons are large, common birds, which usually stay hidden in tall grass and reeds.

He patiently observes his prey…
…until he strikes silently...
