While taking along a stroll in a nearby park, spotted this Striated Heron(Scientific name : Butorides striata). The bird has bluish grey plumage with a black cap on its head and a dark bill. Its wings are black with buff edges, giving it the appearance of white scales. Its legs are glossy orange during breeding season. It is found from South America, Australia, Africa, Indian subcontinent, southern China, Japan, Korea to Southeast Asia with some northern populations winter to the south. Compared to the Grey Heron it is smaller and stockier. Like most herons, aquatic prey like fish form a large part of their diet. They are solitary and are often seen perching along the banks of water bodies.
