Wild Bird Wednesday: White-faced Heron

While out at Wivenhoe Dam a few weeks ago, I came across this White-faced Heron.




Looks like he spied some food...


Gotcha!!

  3. Hi Liz!
    In Poland, the heron is a rare bird.
    Your photos give me great joy.
    They are beautiful.
    Have a nice day.

  7. Good pictures. What I find amazing is that the Heron stands still and all of a sudden he attacks the fish. What a hunter.

  12. Sorry I haven't been in touch lately Liz! Like you I've had an enormous amount on my plate as of late. I love this Heron and haven't seen them before. We have Heron's here in Canada but not that type. How are things going right now?

  15. Nice set of pictures - I like these herons - I think they were the first heron I saw when I moved to Australia.

    I remember the water dragons being in the botanic gardens in Brisbane.

    As you may be able to tell from the shape of my Kite pictures, there was a bit of cropping involved in the images!

    Thanks for linking to WBW.

  16. Lovely heron shots!
    Those we have here in Sweden are very shy and flies to quickly, I think!
