    Grey or Great White Heron Kyoto Japan

    Will this work? I kept trying and trying to make it smaller. Anyway, if the thread hadn't already been about Grey Herons, I wouldn't have bothered. In Japan, maybe before WW2, various species were tried as possible food sources, including Bullfrogs. Another was the Asian Swamp Eel which I think...

    Grey or Great White Heron Kyoto Japan

    The point was a three-minute video of the struggle from the moment the heron found the eel until the time it swallowed it showing the whole process of repeatedly squeezing its neck, throwing it down, poking it with the bill to weaken or kill it, and repeat...

    Grey or Great White Heron Kyoto Japan

    No. None of those. Deliberately. I first used a computer in 1970 or so (Fortran programming at secondary school - yes a rather special school - the computer was the size of a large bus, and we had to print each line of code on a card).

    Grey or Great White Heron Kyoto Japan

    Yes. My friend is extremely experienced, but mystified by this. The head considered by itself looks clear for Great White, while some of the body feathering seems to have juvenile features, but in our area there is no way it could be a bird from this year. Edit: [just my observation, not that...

    Grey or Great White Heron Kyoto Japan

    The attached photographs were taken by a friend of mine in the last couple of days and are posted here with his permission. They are genuine photographs of one bird and not Photoshop or AI creations. Is it a hybrid? Or what? All comments welcome, but we haven't seen anything like this...
