To more than a dozen species of herons on my website the largest of herons – the goliath heron is added. Although this may sound rather bombastically because its size can be seen only in direct confrontation with other herons. The weight of the goliath heron reaches 5 kilograms and the wingspan is up to 2.3 meters. She was very cautious and always, as far as my expectations, too far away.
