White Heron(Bagula) || Fish Hunting Skills || Great Egret || বক পাখি || Bird Watching

Hunting techniques of the heron differ according to its environment. Favored areas for the heron are inland and coastal wetlands, subtropical swamps, rivers, lakes, urban parks and ponds and marshes. Herons in different regions use more active hunting strategies than others but all make use of their extensive beaks and long legs. Hunting methods have been divided into categories such as stand or stalk feeding, disturb and chase feeding, and aerial and deep water feeding.Stand or stalk feeding methods include the "stand and wait" technique - standing motionless until food appears, and the "walk slowly technique" - a slow motion pace toward food. Disturb and chase involves a "walk quickly" technique - moving quickly to flush out food and "hopping" - jumping and flying to prey. Aerial and deep water feeding includes "hovering stirring" - patting the water while flying, and "dipping" - catching food in flight.Long legs aid in wetland hunting. Leg length allows the heron to crouch or stand upright for an efficient feeding posture or hop toward moving food. Feet are utilized in vibrating water surfaces, raking litter and paddling to perturb prey. Heron feet are also used to disturb the water while hovering above or in landing on the water, which enables it to stab at the food beneath with the beak.
Herons have large wing spans, also used in hunting. Flicking the wings back and forth, extending and retracting, and raising and lowering the wings stirs prey into activity. Wings are obviously used in low flight forays, catching insects and hovering and diving. Other adaptations of the heron in hunting are its large eyes, which give it binocular vision and its S-shaped neck for greater striking strength. These traits have given the heron its graceful appearance and efficient hunting capabilities.
