grebeman,.......thanks for your message. I was only at this pond for about 10 minutes (and shot three frames) and the heron caught 5 small fish while I was watching. However, this is the first heron that I have seen there this year. In fact, I would estimate that there is less than one fifth the bird life there this year. This pond has become much more popular with herons over the last four years but this year they have left it alone,..even before the startling colour change.
