Mini-post: The Birds of Petulu


The village of Petulu is a 20-minute walk from our hotel north of Ubud, Bali.  Every evening, herons fly back to the village to roost for the evening.  There are hundreds upon hundreds of them, roosting in just a few trees.  This wasn't always the case; the huge flocks started coming in 1965, and the resulting tourism has been a financial rescue for the town.

It was a truly amazing sight !!
