Happy the Heron

A bright start to the day and after mixing the dough for a ciabatta I nipped along to Croig to look for a blip. Happy the Heron was Hunting and it was obvious his breakfast of fish tasted good. The hunting process is an lengthy and involved affair the catch to be relished and paraded for a few seconds. There are a couple of reasonable shots of him with the fish however the one above was the favourite, I like the background of green and the mangle of seaweed.

This evening six of us are getting together here for a meal, I'm preparing a soup - hence the dough - and the main course, the pudding will arrive later. A number of us enjoy this way of getting together usually in a group of 6-8, we each contribute food to the evening making for a more relaxing time for the host.
