Gri Balıkçıl (Grey Heron)


Moda'dan Kadıköy'e yürüyün ve Eminönü vapuruna binin. Vapur Kadıköy İskelesi'nden ayrıldıktan sonra Haydarpaşa Mendireği boyunca ilerler. Mendireğin üzeri her zaman yüzlerce kuşla doludur ve gözlemlenebilecek türlerden biri de Gri Balıkçıl (Ardea cinerea)'dır. Yanınızda tele-objektif takılı bir fotoğraf makinesi var ise, benim iki gün önce çektiğim yukarıdaki fotoğraf gibi bir kare yakalayabilirsiniz. Gri Balıkçıl İstanbul'da yaz-kış yaşayan yerleşik bir türdür ve Haydarpaşa Mendireği'nin yanısıra Heybeliada'da gözlemlenebilir. 

Walk from Moda to Kadıköy and take the ferry to Eminönü. After leaving the Kadıköy Port, the ferry sails along the Haydarpasha Breakwater. There are always hundreds of birds on the breakwater and one of the species which can be observed is the Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea). If you have a camera with a telephoto lens, you can capture a photo just like the one hereabove that I took two days ago. The Grey Heron is a resident species in Istanbul and can be observed all year long on Hardarpasha Breakwater and on Heybeliada (the Saddlebag Island) situated in the Sea of Marmara.

  4. A lovely shot, and great eye contact.
    I'm lucky enough to have a fairly large nesting colony at one of my local lakes. They are fascinating birds to watch.
