They were my favourite heron when I was a kid. Used to love nature documentaries and everytime the green backed heron popped up, I was thrilled. They look so pretty, yet so strange, so comical, yet so elegant.
My great blue friend would like a word.
Except that it’s very obviously not the same idea as the post. Your great blue friend should practice basic media comprehension before butting into a conversation to talk about themselves.
Where does the neck go??¡
It’s hidden in the fluff.
Huh, I don’t know why, but I thought it would extend its neck over the course of a second or so. Not shooting it forward like a cannonball xD
It’s how they hunt. A quick sudden thrust to catch their prey off guard.

magnificent work.
Also, ZOOP needs to be brought into common use. it really does.
Anyone else really hoping this bird’s call sounds exactly like a slide whistle?
He’s a grower
My parents have some that nest in their trees. I keep trying to get a good picture but they are sneaky

Took this picture recently. Truly an incredible bird.
Excellent heron indeed.
Hey, look! They said my name on the thing!
Is that a heron in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Fascinating! These birds live near my place and yet I’ve never seen them unwound - that’s really cool!
