EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this stunning snapshot captured by FLPA/Dickie Duckett, we witness a true fashion icon of the avian world - the Black Heron (Egretta ardesiaca) - showcasing its unique fishing technique with style and grace. Sporting its very own "umbrella wings" this adult heron knows how to make a splash! As it stands tall in a shimmering pool amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Botswana's Okavango Delta, our fashionable friend elegantly extends its wings to create an umbrella-like shade over the water. Talk about multitasking! Not only does it shield itself from harsh sun rays, but it also creates a perfect hunting environment by attracting fish seeking refuge under its shady canopy. This fascinating behavior showcases nature's ingenuity at its finest. Who needs sunglasses when you have built-in wing accessories? Our trendy heron proves that even in the wild, one can be both practical and stylish. The Okavango Delta serves as an ideal runway for this fabulous bird, flaunting not just its impeccable taste but also highlighting Africa's rich biodiversity. With every flap of those magnificent wings, our black-feathered superstar reminds us of the wonders that lie within Southern Africa's rivers, wetlands, and swamps. So next time you're out fishing or simply enjoying some sunshine by the poolside, take inspiration from our dapper Black Heron – because who says wildlife can
