  1. Stunning capture! Did you take it? Is it a Heron?

    1. Unfortunately, I had only my mobile at hand. Yes it's a heron. Apparently a loner. Owners of ornamental ponds with fish stocking (coys, goldfish etc) and our local trout farmer are not happy with him.

  2. He knows where the easy living is, doesn't he.

    1. He certainly does, although I can imagine it is getting more difficult for him. A neighbour told me that he would no longer set fish to his pond.

  3. Great capture. Growing up it was our cats that raided people's fishponds. And brought their tropies home and laid them on the front door mat.

    1. També m'agrada la "nostra" garsa. Però tampoc tinc un estany de peixos. ;-) / I like "our" heron too. But I don't have a fish pond either.

  5. He's accepted the mission and is now off to complete it. Great shot!

    1. I wish him luck. The trout farmer tries to keep him away with nets. But who knows?
      Thank you, Bill.
