[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Grand oiseau gris, majestueux lorsqu'il est debout au repos. Il possède de longues pattes jaune grisâtre ou grises, un long cou et un grand bec jaune grisâtre en forme de dague. Le dessous, la tête et le cou sont blanchâtres avec une crête noire et des rayures sombres sur le devant du cou et de la poitrine. Le reste du plumage est gris pigeon. En vol, parfois haut en battant lentement des ailes qui sont alors bien arquées, les plumes principales des ailes sont foncées, presque noires, le cou est replié et les pattes sont plus longues que la queue. Les jeunes hérons ont le front et la calotte gris, la nuque noire grisâtre avec une courte plume nucale, les côtés de la tête et du cou ainsi que le dos gris. Le centre de leur cou est beige. Héron cendré Ils cherchent à se nourrir près de toutes sortes de plans d'eau, et on en voit même quelquefois en zone urbaine. Leur technique de pêche n'est pas encore très au point et ils feront sans doute plus de peur que de mal aux poissons.


Large gray bird, majestic when it is upright at rest. It has long gray legs yellow grisâtre or, a long neck and a large yellow nozzle grisâtre in the shape of scraping-knife. The lower part, the head and the neck are blanchâtres with a black peak and dark stripes on the front of the neck and the chest. The remainder of the plumage is gray pigeon. In flight, sometimes high by slowly beating wings which then are well arched, the principal feathers of the wings are dark, almost black, the neck is folded up and the legs are longer than the tail. The young people will hérons have the face and the cap gray, the black nape of the neck grisâtre with a short feather nucale, the sides of the head and neck as well as the gray back. The center of their neck is beige. Ashy Héron They seek to be nourished close to all kinds of d' plans; water, and one sees some even sometimes in urban area. Their technique of fishing n' is not yet very at the point and they will undoubtedly make more for fear evil with fish.

Hi Christian,

nice inflight grey heron shot [if I am not mistaken].

I do not understand your note but still guess it's the nesting act out of filial care. Sorry didn't quite see the english part.

TFS,

Subhayan.

Christian,

Excellent capture. This is something you don't see too often. I like how you captured this 'builder'. Composition, wing pose, lighting and detail are all very nice. Great work and TFS.

Best Regards,

Martin
