Thank you Peter,But it is not the same species which I look for even it is similar in terms of food and National Treasured. I would like to know the specific species of fish or insects or invertebrates which purple heron (Ardea purpurea) eat normally. I have only documents which refer to those food but no one specific species of its food.Thank you again if you have more suggestion,Ong

Dear Ong,The story of the crested ibis in Japan may be useful as a parallel case involving a similar bird:see Rowan Hooper's article and a recent article in the journal Ibis on the biology of the bird .Cheers, P.
