July 2010 - Father-in-Law's Heron problem!


Friday 16th: My Father-in-law has a garden pond that gets admiring glances from a Heron, sometimes more than that, the Heron has skewered fish in the past. As this image shows, early morning and the arrival of the Heron. Now is it the same bird each time? Who knows but as my Father-in-law has spread a net over the pond to protect the fish. The Heron has been seen wading out over the net. It has deduced that if it walks onto the mesh then the mesh will sink and this may give it a better chance of trapping any slow moving fish, skewer and snack on it. One very smart Heron! These two photos were snapped by Hadi on the morning of the 11th July.
