I featured this heron a few posts ago when he caught a water bug. In this current series he was fishing for a bigger prize and after patient stalking caught a small fish. There have been several green herons at the reserve this summer. As they keep returning to the same shallows I have been lucky to spot them many times and have taken more photos than I do most years.

These are wonderful, Belinda! In the first three it almost looks as if he’s admiring himself in the reflections but he finally caught a fish to prove that he was really not vain. 😉
