Remember Thurday’s Ragtag Daily Prompt? Here is the solution to the question.
I’ve posted a photo of the dangling prey in a local photo group to ask what they thought what kind of animal the heron had caught. Hedgehog was discounted, rat and mouse advanced – which I didn’t really believe as I could see no tail whatsoever. And the latest idea is a hamster. The size fits, and it has a darker back and lighter belly. Whatever it was: may it rest in peace.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Curious
Occasionally, I come upon herons on the fields. This one was closer than normal.
When it did this
I hoped that I would have another look at a heron being a successful hunter. I had the luck to see this once, the light was bad, the bird far away, yet it was still a unique experience.
In the meantime, I keep hunting with my camera.

And what about him:

Driving on my bike these two were easy to miss. Sometimes I get lucky.
There are more storks around and they are easier to spot than the grey herons.
Look at those breast feathers and the garter on the upper thigh!
I’m by no means an expert but I think these were two juveniles.
And off again.
