The heron often visits our Equihabitat. He always finds a tasty meal in the Molenbeek.
What does a Heron look like?
The heron has feathers and is a species of bird. It has rowing legs with webbed toes. It also has a bright yellow or orange beak. And two legs with four toes.
Food
The heron eats fish 14 to 16 cm long such as roach, trout, bream, perch, eel, pike, tench and carp. Sometimes it also eats snails, frogs, moles, and young birds.
Living environment
The heron lives throughout Europe and in humid areas. Sometimes it occurs in gardens, which of course does not make people with a beautiful pond very happy. You usually see him looking for fish early in the morning.
