hunting heron

The grey heron (Ardea cinerea), is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but some populations from the more northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. It is a bird of wetland areas and can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it spears with its beak after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows.
