    Their plumage is certainly nothing compared to some other showy and more colorful birds, but I really appreciate the neutral tones and pattern. Posted 10 years ago

The Indian Pond Heron

The Indian Pond Heron or Paddybird is a small heron. It is of Old World origins, breeding in southern Iran and east to India, Burma, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. They are widespread and common but can be easily missed when they stalk prey at the edge of small water-bodies or even when they roost close to human habitations.
