Grey Heron

Often found in wetland areas like marshes, tidal flats, and ponds, this bird is notably conspicuous. It nests in groups within tall trees, but is typically seen alone or in small clusters near water sources. With predominantly gray plumage and a lighter neck, the adult features a white crown, black eyebrows, and shoulder patch. Similar to other herons and egrets, it flies with its neck retracted, creating a distinctive bulge. This species frequents wet fields for hunting, standing quietly near water bodies.
