Heron ascending gracefully into flight

Poster - Heron pictures – ascending into flight

Despite their large size, a heron in flight is surprisingly silent due to the special structure of their feathers which suppress noise. Grey herons are most noted for the noise of their call - a loud, harsh croak that they usually only make in flight or when disturbed.
