In this contest I am looking for your photos of herons, egrets and bitterns. Herons are long-legged, long-necked, freshwater and coastal birds with many species, some of which are referred to as egrets or bitterns instead of herons. Please note that storks, spoonbills and cranes are not part of the heron family.
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
