Heron

Herons, commonly known as “বক” in Bangladesh, are a type of wading bird that are known for their long legs, necks, and bills. They belong to the family Ardeidae and are found across the world, except in the polar regions and some isolated islands. In Bangladesh, herons can be seen near marshes and water bodies, where they reside and hunt for their food, which mainly consists of small fish and other aquatic creatures.

Herons come in various sizes, ranging from the Pond Heron at 45 cm to the large Goliath Heron, which can grow up to 150 cm in length. They have long, pointed bills and bare feet, which help them navigate through the water with ease. During courtship, male herons may display ornate plumes on their head, neck, and chest.

Herons live and nest in colonies known as heronries, and often share these spaces with other birds in the Ciconiiformes order, such as cormorants, spoonbills, and ibises. These birds roost in trees, and use them as both nesting and roosting sites. They are highly adapted to their wetland habitats and play a vital role in the local ecosystem.
