With its long, elegant wings and effortless glide, the grey heron is a master of flight. Unlike most birds, it retracts its neck in an S-shape while flying, reducing air resistance. Found near lakes, rivers, and wetlands, this patient hunter stands motionless before striking with lightning speed to catch fish.
