BEAUTIFUL PURPLE HERON | ADULT | JUVENILE

Purple Heron : Difference between Adult and Juvenile.
The adult Purple Heron has a black crown with distinct black lines running down the sides of its face and neck. It has grey upperparts, a reddish-brown neck, and dark chestnut underparts. The bill and legs are yellowish orange. The juvenile is largely brown and lacks the bold black lines along its head and neck.
Diet and Behaviour
The Purple Heron feeds on a wide variety of prey including fish, frogs and other small animals. Like many herons, it stands motionless in shallow water, waiting for the opportunity to impale its prey with its sharp beak. It is shy and often conceals itself in dense vegetation.
Where are they found?
It is an uncommon resident that is usually observed in well-vegetated freshwater wetlands in Singapore including Kranji Marshes, Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and Jurong Lake Gardens. The Purple Heron is also found from Africa and Europe to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
