Heron gracefully in flight
Grey herons are large, long-legged wading birds that thrive in both wetland and inland areas. They are characterised by their distinct grey plumage, long, sharp beaks, and broad wings that allow them to fly gracefully over various landscapes. Grey herons are also known for their distinctive nests or 'heronries'. These are usually found in trees, with the birds often returning to the same location year after year to breed. Both males and females share the responsibility of constructing the nest and caring for their young.
