This is my first post of heron.
The Grey Heron, Ardea cinerea is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in the milder south and west, but many birds retreat in winter from the ice in colder regions.
It is a large bird, standing 90-100 cm tall, with a 175-195 cm wingspan and a weight of 1-2 kg. Its plumage is largely grey above, and off-white below. Adults have a white head with a broad black supercilium and slender crest, while immatures have a dull grey head. It has a powerful pinkish-yellow bill, which is brighter in breeding adults. It has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes and spoonbills, which extend their necks. |

Buna Alexandru,
Ai realizat o fotografie foarte frumoasa cu acest starc. Penajul este bine prezentat culorile fiind corecte si imaginea clara. Pacat ca DOF-ul nu ti-a petrmis si redarea capului cu aceeasi claritate. Culorile din fundal sunt foarte frumoase si realizeaza un contrast placut cu pasarea.
TFS,
Cristian
