Hello! I am DORO. I study in class IV now. I love animals, birds, butterflies, fishes and all. My favourite animal is Cheetah. My favourite bird is Falcon. Cheetah is the fastest runner among the animals. Falcon is the fastest bird. This is the window through which I get to see open sky and many birds over there on our green backyard! I like to invite all my friends and cousins and all people here. Please join this blog if you also like animals and birds and other creatures small or big.

Heron
WOW! The Heron is quite watchful! Any fish?
It is sitting over some sort of a wall at the Venetian lagoon, near San Marco at Venezia (Venice), Italy.

Herring Gull
This is a classic sea gull. This gull is large, noisy and always looking out for easy meals. This is captured while it is sitting on a boat at the Adriatic sea (Gulf of Trieste, Italy). This may be looking for fish as the boats are usually made for fishing in the deep sea.
