The Grey Heron is the most common heron species in Central Europe. It can be found in various habitats, but it is probably most often seen in the shallow water zones of lakes or in meadows lying in wait for its prey. Its typical flight silhouette can be distinguished from the crane and the stork mainly by the retracted head. A striking feature on the otherwise predominantly grey and white plumage are the slightly elongated black crest feathers.
Der Graureiher, auch Fischreiher genannt, ist eine Vogelart aus der Ordnung Pelecaniformes. Er ist in Eurasien und Afrika weit verbreitet und hΓ€ufig. Weltweit werden vier Unterarten unterschieden. In Mitteleuropa ist er mit der Nominatform Ardea cinerea cinerea vertreten.

128) Grey Throated Minivet
Grey-throated Minivet, Pericrocotus montanus, Burung Matahari Gunung
This species prefers forest edges especially at highlands such as Fraser Hill and Awana. It feeds on insects, foraging in the canopy of the forest, picking prey from the terminal foliage, and also making short flights to capture flying termites and other insects. The Gray-throated Minivet is resident year-round in Malaysia. The male and female together build a small cup nest of twigs, roots and grass stems, placed high on a branch or in the fork of a tree in the forest.
Burung ini boleh didapati terbang berkumpulan di kawasan hutan tanah tinggi seperti Bukit Fraser dan Awana. Ia bergerak pantas dari pokok ke pokok dengan bunyi bising memburu serangga di celah daun daun pokok. Betinanya bewarna kuning hitam.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
Lysandra coridon has a wingspan of 30β36 millimetres (1.2β1.4 in).[4] These small butterflies present a sexual dimorphism. This species' physical appearance can be described as males having pale silvery-blue upperside of the wings with a submarginal line of grey spots on the hindwings and a thin brown and white chequered fringe. Females have dark brown upperside of wings, with marginal orange spots and also with chequered fringes.[5] The underside of the wings show a light ochre colouration, several dark spots surrounded by white, a submarginal line of black marks, a series of marginal orange spots on the hindwings and a blue dusting near the body.
As with many blue butterflies, separation from similar species in the field is on the underside markings. Aberrations are common.
Have seen the grey heron many times, but was not able to take a decent photo. However, this time it was possible when I met him while walking to the fields in the deep countryside and finally I could take him home in my camera π
HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY EVERYONE !

The grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum) occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara, although it nests in somewhat wetter habitats. They can also be found in marshes, cultivated lands and grassy flatlands near rivers and lakes in Uganda and Kenya and as far south as South Africa.
The East African B. r. gibbericeps (crested crane) occurs in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Uganda, of which it is the national bird represented in its national flag; and Kenya to eastern South Africa.
