Herons can be found across the UK throughout the year both on the coast and inland, even making use of garden ponds to hunt for food. They feed mainly on fish but have also been known to eat small birds and mammals.

The Cataracts, Aswan, Nile River, Egypt. The River Nile has always and continues to be a lifeline for Egypt. Trade, communication, agriculture, water and now tourism provide the essential ingredients of life - from the Upper Nile and its cataracts, along its fertile banks to the Lower Nile and Delta. In many ways life has not changed for centuries, with transport often relying on the camel on land and felucca on the river
Two Great Blue Herons at dawn in the marsh
L 85-100cm, WS 145-170cm.\nBreeds in Colonies at large, shallow swampy lakes, preferably in reeds with some low bushes and trees. Partial migrant, winters in Mediterranean region or Africa; recently increased as breeding- and wintering bird in W-Europe (also in the Netherlands, France and E-Spain).\nFeeds on fish, aquatic insects in flood meadows and along rivers, but also in somewhat drier terrain.\n\nIn the Netherlands Great Egret had been successful breeding in the IJsselmeerpolders for some years, so they are far more to be seen in the described Habitats.\n\nThis Picture is made in the Oostvaardersplassen (the Netherlands).

Purple Heron.\nThe purple heron (Ardea purpurea) is a wide-ranging heron species. It breeds in Africa, central and southern Europe, and southern and eastern Palearctic. The Western Palearctic populations migrate between breeding and wintering habitats whereas the African and tropical-Asian populations are primarily sedentary, except for occasional dispersive movements.\n\nIt is similar in appearance to the more common grey heron but is slightly smaller, more slender and has darker plumage. It is also a more evasive bird, favouring densely vegetated habitats near water, particularly reed beds. It hunts for a range of prey including fish, rodents, frogs and insects, either stalking them or standing waiting in ambush.\n\nPurple herons are colonial breeders and build a bulky nest out of dead reeds or sticks close to the water' edge among reeds or in dense vegetation. About five bluish-green eggs are laid and are incubated by both birds. The young hatch about four weeks later and fledge six weeks after that. The International Union for Conservation of Nature notes that the global population trend is downwards, largely because of the drainage of wetlands, but assesses the purple heron's conservation status as being of \
