A bird of the open dry country and found in groups. It runs on the ground and stops to pick on nsects mainly termites, beetles, crickets and grasshoppers. Loved the setting here with those lovely purple flowers in the grass.

Grey Heron, Juvenile

  A wading heron found near wetlands. It is a native bird across temperate Asia and Europe. It does do local migrations based on the water availability. They are fairly sized birds with a wing span of over 6ft. This is probably a Juvenile bird as the forehead, sides of the head and the centre of the crown are greyish, whereas in adults these are whitish.
