wetland birds

Swan and Heron in Balance

On a quiet stretch of wetland in the village of Pritluky, in South Moravia, these photographs capture three complementary moments in the shared life of water and sky, revealing how different birds inhabit the same landscape in markedly different ways. The first two images focus on a mute swan gliding through shallow water coated with duckweed. In the opening scene, the swan moves calmly across the surface, its long neck held in a relaxed curve, white plumage contrasting softly with the green film below.
