The elegant pond herons are a sight to behold, with their graceful presence and stunning plumage. In the non-breeding season, the Chinese Pond-heron can be found standing at the edge of water in Hong Kong, China during October. Its adult, non-breeding plumage blends perfectly with its surroundings as it patiently waits for its next meal. Meanwhile, the Indian Pond-heron showcases its hunting skills by feeding on crab prey while standing at the water's edge. This magnificent bird walks on mud and aquatic vegetation with ease, displaying its adaptability in different environments such as Bundala National Park and Keoladeo Ghana National Park. Not limited to wetlands alone, this versatile species also ventures into lowland rainforests where it clings to branches or catches flies on domestic water buffaloes, and is truly fascinating to witness these birds in action as they navigate through various habitats. During breeding season, the Chinese Pond-heron transforms into a vision of beauty with its vibrant breeding plumage. Standing proudly on mudflats in Mai Po Marshes Reserve within Deep Bay, it becomes an emblem of grace and elegance. Whether walking on mud or flying over water, these pond herons captivate us with their striking appearance and remarkable behaviors. From Hong Kong to Sri Lanka, they leave us awestruck every step of the way throughout their migratory journey.
