A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Ardea cinerea
I think this bird was trying to tie its neck in knots! The grey heron (Ardea cinerea), is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae.
This bird was in a tree in an area of the wetlands that had been reclaimed for farming. The community project is preserving the wetlands and making sure no-one encroaches on it any more.
Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary. Located outside Kibale Forest park in Magombe Swamp. The sanctuary was set up to preserve the exclusive environmental features along with the wetland.
Yes Grey Heron, immature as it has grey head feathers. Adult develops white head with black cap....nice!
