Grey Heron

As I passed Nythe Pool on the way back from Chiseldon this afternoon I spotted a Little Egret on the bank. As I parked up and walked towards the pool I could see down below me a Grey Heron, which as I arrived lent forward and grabbed an unsuspecting Frog. After several goes and dunkings it finally dispatched it and carried on looking for its next prey. All the time the Little Egret kept out the way, before flying off north.

Little Egret looking on

A quick stab

A turn

More turning

And gulp gone

Onto the next

Grey Heron
