Description
A heron patiently hunting for lunch on the banks of Carrick Roads near Mylor in Cornwall.
Often standing still for long periods until a larger fish came close enough to be speared by it's dagger-like bill, this one has a few tasty morsels. Other prey items taken include frogs, small mammals and even some young birds, but not today.
The grey heron has grey wings but its white belly, breast and head are quite intricately marked with black details. Most appealing is the birds black head stripe, which ends in a long nape plume.
In flight the heron tucks its head in, while its long yellowish legs trail behind. When relaxed and flying at height its dark wings are bowed giving a characteristic profile.
