Waiting for autumn

[Barr1e]

We walked several miles today and spotted four kingfishers who were not interested in being photographed, unlike the herons who sit very still hoping you haven't noticed them.

Here is one waiting for autumn.

Well spotted, Barr1e.

They adapt well. We see them in fields, eating frogs. They feed in rivers, ponds, and on the sea shore.
Cant imagine they ever go hungry for long.

The herons further downstream here in Apsley seem less timid at the moment. Of course, I didn't have my camera with me!

Well, I know they are easy prey for the camera so here are two from today.

Another 2 good shots, Barr1e

I like the nicely framed no 2 shot.

Is the Heronry near you ? We have 2 Heronry's near here.

That looks a hefty old beast, Barr1e

We had a pet rat. (Wasn't really ours. Long story ) But he was friendly and liked being picked up.
They do have very big sharp teeth.

I like this photo. It's almost sepia.
