HERONS.
The birds of this order have the bill hard and horny. They generally nest in trees, and the young need the care of the old birds for some time after they are hatched. The True Herons have the hind toe large and resting on the ground.
The Common Heron (Plate VII. , No. 8) is found throughout the British Islands. These birds breed in colonies, called heronries, more common in England than in Scotland or Ireland. Herons feed on fish, reptiles, frogs, water-voles, mice, and young water-fowl
... ; and, failing these, on snails, slugs, and insects. They may be often seen standing in the NUMIDIAN AND BALEARIC CRANE.
B/TTERNS.
247 water watching for any prey that may come within reach 01 the sharp spear-like bill. Some allied species are visitors to Britain ; among these is the Night Heron, which would probably breed here if undisturbed.
The Egrets are distinguished by their white plumage, and in the breeding season long crests and feathery plumes are developed. The great White Egret, a rare visitor to this country, was formerly common in the valley of the Danube, but its numbers have been greatly reduced, these birds being taken for the sake of the plumes.
