Indian Pond-heron (Ardeola grayii)

Indian Pond-heron (Ardeola grayii) in Varkala, Kerala, India. February 2015. Not baited. Not called in.

Indian Pond-herons (Ardeola grayii) are everywhere in Kerala. You can easily see them everyday. It is a very common bird there, which is great because enjoying its beauty is pretty easy. In flight, you can admire its white bright wings contrasting with its brownish body. But when they stay still, their camouflage is excellent!

Love Nature.
