A New Heronry

The founder of Nature2pixel have been travelling to the north on frequent basis recently. Each time, he passes through Rawang in the morning, he will surely see egrets flying over the highway. Here is a short posting by the founder himself.

It’s getting more common to see the egrets next to the highway nowadays, ever since the herons and egrets left the rawang heronry. Well, I would still call this the rawang heronry since it is also located in Rawang. The number is not as high as the previous heronry and the obvious birds are the egrets and herons (exclude purple heron). I didn’t spent too much time out here today, as the weather is getting too hot in the late afternoon. I was curious and wanted to find out where the egrets come from, each time I travel along the highway. Few weeks ago, the enforcement officer from the Wildlife Department caught several Vietnamese collecting the herons eggs from the nest. This place is not too difficult to find, though. If you are interested, make it a point to explore this mini heronry.

Perhaps, you will also be interested to visit the old rawang heronry, yong peng heronry or putrajaya heronry.
