Dive boats and a heron at Ko Pha-ngan's quiet morning pier

A crowded boat filled with scuba tanks is docked at a pier. A few people are seen on the boat, some appear to be working with the tanks. Another boat, larger and with red accents, is docked behind it. In the background, there are more boats and a landmass with trees and some buildings. The sky is cloudy.

A dark grey heron with its wings outstretched flies over calm, grey water near a beach. Several buoys are visible in the water. The heron then lands on a long metal pole extending from a boat. The boat appears to be a small fishing vessel with a covered section and an outboard motor with a propeller. The bird is standing on the pole, facing towards the right side of the frame, with its neck extended and its beak pointed downwards. The water is slightly rippled, and there is some debris visible on the sandy shore in the foreground.

This is a POV video taken from a boat moving through the ocean. The boat is creating a wake, which is visible in the foreground of the video. In the background, there is a beach with palm trees and buildings. The sky is cloudy. A person's head and shoulders are visible in the lower right corner of the video. They are wearing sunglasses and a headband.

A lone gray heron walks along a sandy beach. The bird is silhouetted against the gentle waves rolling onto the shore. In the background, a white boat with orange accents is docked in the water. The beach appears somewhat cluttered with ropes and debris, suggesting a working harbor or a less-maintained public area. The sky is overcast, contributing to the muted lighting of the scene.
