The raccoon is a nocturnal mammal. It is unusual because of its thumbs
which enable it to open many closed containers. It is an omnivore with a
reputation for being clever and mischievous. The raccoon will make a huge mess
as it removes fish, snails, frogs and plants from the pond.
The great blue heron has blue-grey wings and back, and a white head with
a black cap and a long black plume. The face is white, with a black streak. It
has a long neck, streaked with white, rust-brown, and black, and a short tail.
The beak is yellow, long, and tapers to a point. Legs are long, and
greenish-yellow. The blue heron is a wading bird. It will only access shallow
ponds. It is a stealthy hunter going after fish and frogs.
The kingfisher has a large head, long, sharp, pointed bill, short legs,
and a stubby tail. It lives in woodland and wetland habitats. The kingfisher
hunts small fish and frogs by diving. It beats prey to death, by whipping it
against a tree or by dropping it.
