the heron

The herons are medium to large sized birds with long legs and necks. The necks are able to kink in an s-shape, due to the modified shape of the sixth vertebrae. The neck is able to retract and extend, and is retracted during flight, unlike most other long-necked birds.The plumage of the herons is usually blue, black, brown, grey or white, and can often be strikingly complex.

I did not catch his plumage today, it is very beautiful.
