The Grey Heron Ardea cinera is a familiar bird of wetlands and low-lying land throughout Britain. It feeds mainly on fish and small mammals, but occasionally on water birds. Often seen standing perfectly still whilst hunting, waiting for its prey to swim close by, the grey heron then strikes out with its powerful bill. Herons suffer in severe winters when surfaces of water are ice covered.
