And so the greaves are- They're big, innit?
Yeah, yeah, they come up, you see them about this side, they're wriggling.
And then you've got the egrets and the herons here.
So they typically will hunt just at the edges of the reeds, just where the water starts to get deeper, because they can catch bigger fish.
So the great white egrets which are here now, 2009 is the first time they bred here.
They're bigger than herons.
And there was over 90 nests last year.
And it's amazing that there's enough food here to support these egrets.
And how many fish do they eat today?
Really, I can't really say.
No, I don't know.
Well, think of the brew like a cormorant.
Yeah.
So I've seen cormorants catch a big fish and they just swallow it whole.
Yeah.
And that probably keeps them going all day, I would say.
Really?
Yeah.
And then they'll fly up and perch on the branch, put their wings out to dry their wings, and that's it.
They're just digesting their food for the rest of the day.
