Herons at Qurum.

When the weather gets a little pleasant Qurum beach and Qurum Park(with the artificial lake) are ideal stop-overs for birds.
We were able to get some shots of the Great Blue Herons and Grey Herons.

    These are really pretty - I clicked to enlarge and that last photo especially with the wings spread out is just beautiful. Hope you all have a very good day Shantana!

    Great captures. Love the ones with the fish.
    And they really have such a big wingspan don't they.

    What beautiful photos, such a striking bird and I loved your previous montage too, it looks like Diya is following closely in the footsteps of her talented parents.

    Great Heron shots Shantana! They're such ungainly birds in flight that makes me wonder how they fly at all!!

    Thank you for sharing these shots! How amazing that must have been to be so close to these beautiful birds.

    We have Herons in our salt marsh too. Have you seen how big their nests are?
