This black and white photograph captures three large wading birds, likely herons or ibises, silhouetted against a misty wetland landscape. The birds stand among tall grasses, their long beaks and distinctive profiles clearly visible against the ethereal background. Two birds are prominently positioned in the foreground, while a third appears slightly behind them. A small bird can be seen flying in the distant sky. The atmospheric quality of the image creates a dreamy, almost ghostlike effect, with the fog softening the horizon line where marsh meets sky. The composition's moody tonality and soft focus perfectly capture the mysterious, airy nature of a fen environment at dawn or dusk.
