      Cheers.

      I love the way they appear to have a permanent, self-satisfied, smug look on their faces.

      Like they know they're really cool and impressive.       Posted 3 years ago

The Grey heron

The grey heron is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in the milder south and west, but many birds retreat in winter from the ice in colder regions. It has become common in summer even inside the Arctic circle along the Norwegian coast.
