What a nuisance

Great shot though

Thanks!

Aaaaaaargh
Yes well caught Dawn they have the freakiest eyes, ours hasn't been seen since we got Henry ;-) thank goodness.

Wow - amazing capture. Looks like he means business!

Look At that! Designed for swallowing fishies whole! Sorry Dawn...great photo though!

Darn thing. Its at the pond several times a day. Sometimes there are two of them. We dont have any posh fish in there luckily.
Who's Henry Kathy? :-) Sounds like I need a Henry.

Henry is Simbad's bronze(?) heron . . . see her last-but-one blog . . he's handsome! (apologies for butting in!)

A super capture.....

Thanks DD.Thanks Sheila for the ID :)

What kind of bird is this Dawn? He's brilliant. Sounds like he found an easy meal. Do your fishes have a hiding place? Lilies?

Its a heron! They hunt early in the morning usually but this one hangs around a lot. We don't have ornamental fish in there, just minnows and common Rudd. He waits on the bridge and on this weeping birch. The kingfisher can have whatever he wants! This boy is too greedy.
