Curios what type of Herons birds live in the Danube Delta?

We wrote an extensive article about the herons HERE

But to be more precise...in our boat tours ( short or full day) you can discover all the important types of birds that live in the Danube Delta..including the 3 types of  herons.

Three species of herons live in the Danube Delta: the grey heron, the great white heron, and the little egret. These birds are characteristic of the area and are often spotted by tourists during visits to the Delta.

The grey heron is the most common heron species in the Danube Delta. These birds are approximately 95-100 centimeters long with a wingspan of 175-195 centimeters. Their feathers are mostly grayish-blue with some darker areas on the wings and tail of the bird. Grey herons feed on fish, snakes, and other small aquatic animals.

The great white heron, also known as the white heron, is another species of heron found in the Danube Delta. These birds are larger than the grey heron, with a length of 105-115 centimeters and a wingspan of 230-245 centimeters. Their feathers are mostly white, with black wingtips and some black feathers on the upper side of the tail. Great white herons feed on fish, turtles, and other small aquatic animals.

The little egret is the smallest of the three heron species in the Danube Delta, with a length of approximately 55 centimeters and a wingspan of 120-140 centimeters. Their feathers are mostly gray-brown with darker wingtips. Little egrets feed on small fish, lizards, and other small aquatic animals.

In conclusion, the grey heron, great white heron, and little egret are three wonderful bird species that live in the Danube Delta. Due to their range and the food they consume, these birds are essential to the ecosystem of the Danube Delta. If you are passionate about birdwatching or want to see these heron species, visit the Danube Delta and enjoy the wonderful nature of the area.
