The Grey Heron can be seen as one of the most common wading birds of wetlands in Europe. In the Natural Reserve of San Giuliano, as in most lakes and rivers Lucan, this species is now firmly linked to the aquatic habitat. Its habits and its food eclecticism mean that it can be considered a "gourmet" because it feeds on many species of vertebrates and macroinvertebrates in the environment in which they live. It is not difficult to see, even away from the waters and especially in fields where forage tirelessly hunts also mice and voles, with major benefits for farmers.
