Ardea Cinerea
Stork like bird, ashy grey above with white crown and neck, greyish white below with long s shaped neck and a pointed beak.
Near lakes and other water sources that are artificially created due to the rains.
Seen at Nalsarovar bird sanctuary. Also seen a couple that was harrased by a gang of red wattled lapwings. The lapwings literally shooed the birds away. trying to load some pics of that part too.

Thanks Sanjay for the information. I was not aware of this fact. Thanks Arushi.
Thanks Yogesh.
Great clicks! amazing
The grey heron seems to be better adapted to cold than any other heron species, but it is equally successful in the subtropics and tropics, where it readily breeds in mixed species heronries.
Beautyful!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot Tony.
I especially like picture nr 4 where the red wattled lapwings try to get rid of the heron. Very nice.
Thank you Karen.
Lovely!
Thank you Emma.
beautiful Satyen!
Thanks Pulkit and William. William there was a pair in the fourth pic and the male flew off because of the red wattled lapwings, what remained was the female and a couple of lapwings. Breeding time arriving soon. For many others like moorehens and lapwings it was breeding time already.
is that a pair male n' female in the forth pic ~ must be breeding time again? Nice work, thank you.
great pic !!!
Edited and uploaded. At last, I could upload the pics where these great birds were harassed by Red Wattled Lapwings.
