A tall, often solitary bird, the Grey Heron is one of the UK's most familiar birds. It feeds mainly on fish, but also eats small mammals (even Moles!), waterbirds (sometimes up to the size of a Coot) and Crayfish. It is often seen standing stock-still in the shallow waters of lakes, rivers and ponds, patiently hunting fish that flit about below the surface. It will visit gardens with ornamental ponds, looking for an easy meal.

A graceful crane stands poised in a tranquil pond nestled within a lush Japanese forest. Its elegant feathers reflect softly on the water’s surface, surrounded by verdant foliage and moss-covered rocks. The serene setting captures the quiet beauty of nature, harmony between wildlife and ancient woodland, and the timeless peace found in Japan’s natural sanctuaries.
