Black Herons sitting in the sun.

Black Herons sitting in the sun.

I took this yesterday morning as I was walking and praying in Wanstead Park, London.

These are Two black [ Cormorants] and they come here every year. it was a cold morning and they stretch forth their wings to absorb the early morning sunshine. I sometimes wish I was a Heron and then I could fly away any time I like and visit the villages of Africa. “Freedom, a priceless gift”.

This will be my Last Photograph until I return from Mission in Remote villages in Africa. I leave on 18th Nov-16th Dec.

God Bless you all.

    I’m sure you will find a little time for a few pic’s of wild life on mission, The cormorants will still be waiting for your return. Hope you have a safe journey and achieve great work.
    ps: They do look like Herons but have shorter knecks & are a lot smaller.

    Hey guys and Gals, this is so cool. I am a bit thick when it comes to Wildlife. but its great to see you precious friends discussing. Its a great life when my incorrect naming of birds creates such fun. I love you all.

    your welcome.
    the first time i came across these birds near my place.
    I had no idea what kind they were .. I had to look them up..
    that was about two years ago..everyone else knew what they were.
    now i keep a bird book handy in my car..
