Grey Heron

Description:

Gaunt grey herons are among the most familiar of our local water birds. Fresh or salt, clear or muddy each is acceptable so long as it will yield something worthwhile. The bird doesn't always wait for quarry but stalks through the shallows with long deliberate strides, neck muscles tensed for spearing.

Habitat:

Found a number of these Soaring in the skys most likely after we startled them on our ramble!
