Under my wings

Under my wings

Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea) in flapping flight. The downstroke movement reveals the full spectrum of the underwing flight feathers. The arching of the wings recalls the shape of an alien spacecraft. Captured at Al Qurm Natural Park in Muscat, in the Sultanate of Oman.
