Spotting a Grey Heron in the city
Meet the Grey Heron (Grey Heron)
A tall, elegant bird often called the “silent fisherman” of wetlands.
Can stand completely still for minutes before striking lightning-fast to catch fish.
Wondering why it is at Koules?
Even busy coastal spots attract them because of easy access to fish in shallow waters.
They adapt surprisingly well to urban and harbor environments.
They fly with their neck tucked in an S-shape (unlike storks or cranes).
They are mostly solitary hunters, you’ll usually spot them alone, just like here and they remain active during both day and twilight, especially when the water is calm.
Have you spotted one yet?
Do you enjoy the little calm moments of our city?
