Ardeola grayii, Indian Pond Heron, a small heron from southern Iran and the Indian subcontinent, Burma, and Sri Lanka. They usually feed at the edge of ponds but make extensive use of floating vegetation such as water hyacinth to access deeper water. Their food includes crustaceans, aquatic insects, fishes, tadpoles and sometimes leeches. Outside wetlands, these herons feed on insects. They nest in small colonies, often with other wading birds, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs.
