Opportunity

I stood watching this guy for quite a while. It was nonchalantly strolling along the edge of the shore. Legs and neck all elegantly at full stretch. Just as you would do if you were a heron after a busy day doing what herons do. Waiting for some shut eye and then you can do it all again tomorrow.

Then it spotted something. Legs bent tucked underneath, neck folded neatly, eyes fixed on something in the water. Then it rushed forward and grabbed whatever. Supper perhaps.

Then it returned to nonchalant stroll.

Fascinating.

Then I remembered to take a photo.
