Great Blue Heron

Great Blue Heron

The great blue heron (Ardea herodias) is a large wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae, common near the shores of open water and in wetlands over most of North and Central America, as well as far northwestern South America, the Caribbean and the Galapagos Islands. An all-white population found in south Florida and the Florida Keys is known as the great white heron. Debate exists about whether this represents a white color morph of the great blue heron, a subspecies of it, or an entirely separate species. (Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto)

                    Grey Seals are swimming in the water near Skomer Island, National Nature Reserve in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on June 20, 2024. The island, which has the biggest Puffin colony in Southern Britain, is playing host to over 10,000 Puffins, who are coming from April to the end of July to breed. The small island, off the coast of southwest Wales and managed by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, is becoming one of the most important and accessible seabird breeding sites in Europe and is becoming a Mecca for wildlife and bird lovers. As well as the Puffins, the island is also home to a large breeding seabird population, including Manx Shearwaters, Guillemots, and Razorbills, as well as birds of prey including Owls, Kestrels, and Falcons. As a result, Skomer is a National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and a Special Protection Area. Much of Skomer is also being designated an Ancient Monument, and it is also surrounded by a Marine Nature Reserve. (Photo by Action Foto Sport/NurPhoto)
