WESTERN REEF HERON // EGRETTA GULARIS (56cm)

Gambia tour 2020

==============

LARGELY restricted to saline and brackish waters, usually near mangroves at the coast and estuary. Follows other water birds in a crouched posture, as above, darting at prey that larger birds ignore. A joy to watch, and this one was so involved in the hunt, he came very close at Kotu bridge.
