Grey Heron


Where are you?

I was here last on Friday morning last week when I saw 1x Chinese Egret, 1x Little Egret as well as 1x Grey Heron. It's been a while since we saw Grey Heron in this lagoon. The last was a few years back of a family of 3 perched at the end of Kuala Baram on a big tree. We were told by children in the area back then that they were shot for sport.

We sporadically see them in more remote loactions with Kuala Baram such as Kpg Masjid area and a couple of times within the vegatble farms.
It was good to see the Grey Heron again that Friday. Seen together with the two smaller egrets, it's presence is unmistakable. Would love to see it next to a Great Egret.

The past few days I only saw 1xChinese Egret and 2xLittle Egret. And today no egrets at all, not even a Little Egret. Perhaps because the tide was low.

I ended up making a video captures of the fiddler crabs instead. This lagoon has somehow changed to being more muddy these days, fiddler crabs everywhere.
