Purple Heron

A colourful Heron that is easily distinguishable from the others due to its slender body and darker colour. A very shy bird, it favours densely vegetated habitats like reed beds where it hunts for a range of prey including fish, rodents, frogs and insects, either stalking them or standing waiting in ambush.
