Grey Heron

The Grey Heron is a tall, elegant bird commonly found near lakes, rivers, and wetlands. It has a slender body with long legs and neck, and its feathers are mostly grey with white and black accents. The heron is a skilled fisherman, standing still or slowly stalking in the water to catch fish, frogs, or small aquatic creatures with its sharp beak. It is a mostly silent feeder, and its graceful appearance and deliberate movements make it a striking presence in its wetland habitats. The grey heron plays an important role in maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems.
