Goliath Heron

Back from my travels, and quite a collection of Birds and Animals to show over next few days..

 

As the name suggests this is the worlds largest Heron.. The Goliath Heron is very aquatic, even by heron standards, rarely venturing far from a water source and preferring to fly along waterways rather than move over land. Important habitats can include lakes, swamps, mangrove wetlands, reefs with few cool water, sometimes river deltas. It typically is found in shallows, though can be observed near deep water over dense water vegetation. Goliath Herons can even be found in small watering holes.
