In the ponds we may encounter the Green Ibis, Snowy Egrets, Boatbill heron, the Purple Gallinule and the Wattled Jacana and many others. |
At the pond there were a few white-winged terns, a black-crowned night heron, a purple swamphen, and some blue-cheeked bee-eaters. |
A grey heron meditates halfway up a tree, while a pair of red-wattled lapwings drive away all comers from their private niche. |
Osprey, bald eagles, hawks, water ouzels, heron, and a variety of songbirds are seen. |
The heron resumed his beady-eyed stance, scanning the depths of the pond for an unwary goldfish. |
In fact well over a hundred species have been recorded in this country, ranging in size from goldcrest to grey heron and including geese. |
