In another stunning shot, we see it gracefully walking on mud at the water's edge in Bundala N. P. But it's not just on land that this heron displays its gracefulness; it takes flight over water in Keoladeo Ghana N. P. , spreading its wings and soaring through the sky with effortless ease. Equally impressive is its ability to walk on aquatic vegetation without sinking, as seen in one photo where it confidently strides along the greenery.

Whether standing stoically in shallow waters or perching delicately on logs or branches, these paddybirds exude an air of tranquility and serenity. Their presence adds a touch of elegance to any landscape they inhabit.

The Indian Pond-heron truly exemplifies nature's artistry with every step it takes and every wingbeat it makes – a true marvel for all bird enthusiasts to admire.
