"I wish these egrets will NEVER go away, grand pa!"

These are Great Egrets This is the largest of the egrets, most obviously so when in flight. Pure white, with strong bill. Waits and stalks fish and other small animals in shallow water.

Growing up in a big crowded city like Petaling Jaya, I believe many children have not seen a REAL egret and heron with their own eyes in their natural environment, next to the road, in-front of their school or behind their house. I have to confess that I haven't either. Have you? Isn't this a God given natural treasure that we should preserve?

Do come to this urban wetland for a bird-watching outing with your family and friends. Best time to watch these birds in action are between 7 to 9am.
