Grey Heron

Ardea cinerea

Description:

Grey herons are unmistakeable: tall, with long legs, a long beak and grey, black and white feathering. They can stand with their neck stretched out, looking for food, or hunched down with their neck bent over their chest.

Habitat:

Around water.

Notes:

They always remind me of flying dinosaurs - the slow manner of flight and unmistakeable screeching.
