    Indeed Herons are really impressive creatures, especially the way they move. IMO they have something prehistoric.

    By the way.. what are Testudines? That tag is on all your photo's but on wikipedia it links to the turtle family.     Posted 14 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.
