A great egret in the Pantanal

Walking carefully between the floating leaves of water lilies is a delicate white egret in the tranquil waters of the Pantanal region, Brazil. These birds can regulate their body temperature by adjusting exposure to the sun and their own wings to control body heat. They are usually monogamous, forming pairs that remain together for several breeding seasons. During mating, they perform impressive rituals, including dances and vocalisations, to strengthen the couple's bond.

Besides their ecological significance as predators and population controllers, white herons are also symbols of purity, grace and wisdom in different cultures, such as Chinese and Japanese. These magnificent birds continue to enchant us with their intriguing behaviour and natural beauty.
