Default Grey Heron Question

"NTL News" wrote in message ...
Does anyone know what range of fish an adult grey heron can take...?

Last year I lost a 5" golden rudd to the winged hunter, I also had a 9" koi
suffer injury. I am pleased to say that the koi responded to treatment, I
did feel a fool on my knees holding a fish in a wet towel spreading
antiseptic on its wounds.

Recently I have seen a few herons fly over but so far no visits. The fish
are pretty big now, mostly over 12" long.. even my orfe are this size.. I
can't believe the heron has not seem them so I wondered if the bird just
thought they were too big...


From what I've heard from others, the question is "Does anyone know
what range of fish an adult grey heron can NOT take?". It seems that
even if the fish is too big to eat, it (the heron) will try anyway
even if the meal is a failure. Too bad it won't put the food back
where it got it if the fish is too big.
