The Grey Heron – Ardea cinerea – is a large and quite shy bird which will usually fly the moment it spots you getting anywhere near to it. Feeding on anything living from insects to small mammals such as ducklings, voles and even young rabbits and large fish like eels and carp they can often be seen wading along in the shallows searching for prey. This one was seen walking along by the side of the water at Pennington Flash.
