I was carrying it in a rucksack, I enjoy photography, so tend to take the stuff I might use when I go for a walk.

Thanks, there was one on Platts Lodge Accrington near Scaitciffe for about 5-6 weeks earlier this year, it got so used to people you could get within 12ft of it - I didn't even need the big lens. I even saw one in the River Irwell in the middle of Manchester..

When they're fishing they swim with their body almost submerged with just the neck above the water, they can stay under for about 30 seconds and can travel about 100+ foot underwater, which is how they catch the fish (unlike Heron's).
