Grey Heron
This is a wider perspective of an earlier upload. The shot was clicked at a local pond called Chirakkal Chira, at the start of the summer a few years back when water-lilies had overrun the place. The bird remained motionless for many minutes waiting for prey giving me a chance to get some good shots even though it was quite a distance from where I sat on the stone bank bordering the pond. Prey for the bird consists of fish, amphibians, small mammals, and insects but could also include juvenile birds such as ducklings.
