Ardea cinerea
The Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea), is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in the milder south and west, but many birds retreat in winter from the ice in colder regions. It has become common in summer even inside the Arctic circle along the Norwegian coast.
Allwetterzoo, Münster, Germany--There are huge populations in our city, they can be found almost everywhere near water. In the zoo they are often stealing the meal of the penguins and cranes and even nest in the trees around the compounds.
I think he is eating a big common toad here..
