Grey Heron

There seems to be several of these birds visiting Ferrymoor Flash at the moment. I have actually seen up to five of them on one visit. This large wading bird can be found standing in the water eagerly waiting for a fish to swim by and then pounce on it for an easy meal. In flight they are quite a spectacular sight with their large wings slowly flapping.
