The heron is a wading bird. The heron’s name derives mainly from the fact that they have white or gaudy plumage. Herons mainly live in wet areas and feed on fish, frogs, frogs as well as other aquatic animals.
According to some scientists, egrets are considered to be among the most intelligent of all birds, as reflected in their diversity, flexibility and high adaptability in search of prey.
Every year, many migratory herons fly to Shahu Lake in the Hui Ningxia region (China) to rest and nurture their young.
