A Chiffchaff (facing towards the right) sat on Buddleja branch deep in the shrub. The end of the branch still has some purple flowers with some having faded. The rest of the images is softened with out of focus leaves and seed heads.

A Squacco Heron stood on a branch at the base of a reef bed. The bird and its surroundings are reflected on the surface of the blue/grey water. The reeds are in the right hand side of the image, the branch protruding from the vegetation. The bird is looking towards the left of the picture.
