Walking around
the Club Mahindra Cherai Beach Resort, I noticed a flash of feathers as a bird
rose out of the water and flew to a tree. Curious, I waited till the bird
returned, and I realized that it wasn’t wading in the water as I had thought,
but stood at the edge of the water, on the boundary wall….
Even as I watched,
it stretched out its neck, and pecked off something from the surface, and flew
back to its perch, to eat in peace!
I was so
fascinated by the sight, that I stood there for quite a while, watching the
Little Green Heron catch its breakfast!
I spotted
it again, later in the evening, this time perched on one of the Chinese Fishing
Nets.
The Little
Green Heron is apparently quite a common bird, seen frequently in these parts. For
me, however, this was a first time sighting, one I thoroughly enjoyed!
Great example of photography. Loved each one pics. Thanks for sharing this.
