A short sequence from Friday morning…
The heron had just landed with its catch when I first spotted it
"Not to sir's taste?"
"Pah Pah Pah"
Fish splashing!
Fish: "Now don't you try that again. I'm warning you!"
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

Very cool series. Enjoyed your caption. 😀
Great capture! Looks like someone's pond was raided!:eek:
Eyes bigger than his beak? 😉
😆 My, my. There's no satisfying some herons 😉
Mick, I would have thought it could manage it. Maybe it has some sort of chemical defence :confused:
Vulpes, yes that doesn't quite look like the rest of the fish that inhabit the village pond. Might have cost a bit as well.
Adele, it was really quite odd. Now I can understand gulls struggling with eels, but I'm surprised the heron couldn't manage that. I've also seen gulls discard gold fish.
Erwin, thanks!
Deb, thanks!
HAhah aha haa 😀

Cynthia :cheers:
Mike, thanks. It would have done. Maybe it was too much for breakfast.

Neil thanks!
