A rather fierce looking bird with a long hooked bill with a downward facing point. Generally I have seen them on the rivers but they do seem to like Cowpen Pond, with five of them in residence at the moment. They are a vary wary bird and difficult to approach. Even whilst sitting quietly for a considerable period, they do not return to an area from which they were recently disturbed. I always like to see them around and you can quite often see them with the fish they have caught in their bills. |
