It features a greedy heron whose eyes were bigger than his belly, whose problem was solved with a little help from his friends.
Gerry Bennett penned the captions as well as taking the pictures. “This was a really amazing experience to witness so close up,” he said.
“I’ve seen herons struggle with eels, and get in a real tangle, and also despatch small finger size fish but I sense this was a young heron who is still learning his trade - and I plus numerous others were there to witness it on a stunning, sunny, Sunday tea-time.”
Thank you Gerry!
