Bloureier? Never heard of that one? Here's a hint.. Bloureier is a Afrikaans name for one of our feathered friends that is known for his patience and perseverance. I suppose the picture is more than a hint, but for a second I bet I had you wondering what a Bloureier could be.The Bloureir, or Grey Heron, can be seen around slow-moving streams and rivers, shallow lakes and on occasion, the water holes that we watch here at Africam.
