PURPLE HERON // ARDEA PURUREA (85cm)
SLIM DARK ELEGANT Heron. with a frail-looking neck, almost as big as the more common grey heron, makes you appreciate that those grasses are a lot more than a meter tall. It is a shy and solitary heron, that hunts more for frogs, snails, crabs, and larger insects., a very difficult bird to approach, so a distant capture, but a joy to find one.

THANK YOU, FOR YOUR VISIT AND COMMENTS, it is always appreciated and find encouraging, am showing my images from the Gambian birding trip.
Keep safe and well, God bless you.....................Tomx
