Grey Heron Fishing



While working with the Little Egret in the previous blog at Ryan's Field I spotted a static Grey Heron well hidden in the far bank reed beds and when the Egret exited the scene I turned my attention to the Heron.

It didn' t move a muscle for ten minutes while waiting for me to depart so I moved back slightly behind a gorse bush and the heron gradually inched through the reeds until its head was clear over the water.

I was then able to capture the sequence of images below until the moment when the Heron successfully swallowed its fish.
