Our daily visitor: heron Snappy!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Our pond is a popular place for herons. Every year we get one heron, and he comes back several times per day. It is very difficult to take pics of him, because he takes off at the slightest movement he sees indoors. He sure has a sharp vision!!
Today, I was just taking pics of Zazou in heat, when Snappy came again . We call him Snappy because he steals fishes from our pond! He has an expensive taste, that stinky Snappy, becuse he always takes the most beautiful fishes...!

Wow - lucky you! Unlucky for your fish, but lucky you to see that beautiful creature every so often.

They are beutiful creatures! And yes, they do fly away at the slightest movement.

Maybe you should start to re-stock your pond with some feeder fishies for him. lol
