A Majestic Heron on the Pond

A visiting heron came back for another spell on the pond. It didn't do a great deal, just stood there deep in thought. Obviously, not very hungry.

It moved into the water. I thought finally, s/he was looking for breakfast but it just carried on standing there. They are so majestic looking but funny looking too.

I think in the end it just wanted to wash its feet!

Well ... what can I say? My heron got photo bombed by a flying mallard!

The Heron wanted a photo session and you gave he/she a worthy one 😅

Thank you. I'm glad it didn’t eat. Knowing me, I would have to save the little frog!

Cool shots. I still want to capture one in hunting mode. I see them often when I cycle, but I don't have my camera with me then.
I've seen one eating a way to large fish once too 😂

I know it's nature and they can't nip down to the supermarket, but it would upset me too much. I'm a wimp!
