Ardea cinerea


Observations:

  • South of Gilf Kebir (on sand plain), October 2006

    The single observed Grey Heron was a relatively fresh carcass on the sand plain to the south-west of the southern tip of the Gilf Kebir plateau. Several large individuals of an Eremiaphila species were noted nearby, apparently feeding on the carcass.
