Some photos from my walk through Munro Park today:
As I was heading back along Flat Rock Creek, I came across a White Faced Heron wading through the water, obviously looking for fish. I took some photos and watched him for about 10 minutes as he wandered back and forth, checking out places where fish were likely to be lurking. Eventually he found something and darted around trying to corner the fish before he stood, perfectly still for close to 5 minutes (according to the timestamp on the photos I took!), before finally lunging and coming up with this big juicy looking fish.
After watching it wriggling around for a bit, the Heron deftly flipped it into its beak and swallowed it whole. Was fascinating to watch the whole thing unfold.
