Grey Heron - Swimming & Diving (1 Viewer)

Today I saw three grey herons, not only swim but also diving to get to fish. It is very interesting as I have access to watching a large number of grey herons, shelducks, cormorants from my office - but I never saw the herons swim.

Searched the forum & found this thread. Thought to update it, there was this previous thread.
 
Old birds, new behaviour

I've seen so many Grey herons I usually don't care to turn my head for them .... but I've never seen one swim, didn't even know they do it. Great to see that the appearantly well-known birds can always surprise you.
