White herons have come back to the Lomonosov district forests. These beautiful birds returned to their regular nesting area after spending winter far away. Biologist Pavel Glazkov shared videos of these snow-white creatures on social media. He explained that herons travel from Western Europe or Africa when warm weather arrives. These large birds make their homes high up in tall trees.
Herons reuse the same nests year after year. The Leningrad region has several dozen colonies throughout its forests. Two heron types live there - gray herons and great white herons. The white herons stand about one meter tall with wingspans reaching one and a half meters. These impressive birds first appeared in the area only about ten years ago.
