Field Notes

Description:

A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows.

Habitat:

This one seen on the seashore of a smallish island. He seemed as interested in me as I wad of him.
