The great egret is a beautiful white bird native to the eastern Mediterranean region. With the creation of suitable habitats, it has extended its distribution into the Netherlands. It likes to breed in reed marshes and riparian forests, but in winter you can also see it in meadows and ditches, where it hunts fish, frogs and mice.
A special feature of this bird is that it colours its legs red and its bill black during breeding season. It does this to impress its mate. The rest of the year, it has a yellow bill and black legs.
A work with the image of this great egret on your wall as a wall decoration would be a nice addition to your interior. The bird's white plumage contrasts beautifully with the green or blue background of its habitat. Moreover, the great egret exudes tranquillity and elegance, giving you a sense of relaxation every time you look at it. The great egret is a symbol of our country's natural beauty and diversity.
Nice to have you here!
