You're right Alok..... they are very widespread, aren't they. Just a shame they're so rare here - but then, we're not in the 'global belt' are we LOL.

That's a great picture you've got of this youngster my friend.
 
Beautiful capture Alok...We had one of these appear in our local park many years ago.
 
A really lovely study of this handsome heron, Alok.
