Herons normaly are knowned for their hunting on fish and frogs. But a lot of herons like the taste of mouse aswell.. They are good at hunting them, this heron picked two of them in maybe 10 minutes that i have observed him.. Its a fascinating sight to see them just stand so still and focusing on prey..

Hi Olger,
bäääää, huuuuu, - and I loved Speedy so much!!!
Wow, what a perfect shot. This moment is so wonderful. The sharpness is so excellent, I can see every detail of the poor Speedy and the feathers. Perfect job, thanks

Goed gedaan Olger! Hoe lang heb je moeten wachten op dit plaatje? Ik ben erg jaloers. Dit is echt heel goed gedaan! Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

An excellent catch, one I have been trying to get myself. The detail is good, would suggest maybe a closer crop though in order to get more detail on that mouse. Good work.

Nice capture for him and for you! I didn't know that heron were eating mice! Sharp and detailed. Good DOF and nice colors. Thanks for sharing!
