I've sat on this for awhile: it's not for the squeamish or rodent lovers. I took a poll though and couldn't find anyone who loves gophers. I didn't see the whole story, but evidently the heron nails the gopher and then takes it to water for the finish. Whether it's already dead by the time it gets the dunking I don't know. Actually this is the second time I've seen a Great Blue - probably this Great Blue - do this at this local haunt.

I've had to step back a bit from photography the last few weeks as life has hit some rocky patches (not withstanding our crazy British politics!). I hope to be slowly getting back into it again.

Have a great week and HMM!

The sun was hitting his little cap making it appear to be brighter somehow almost like he had a hat made from sequins.

I appreciate each and every visit, comment and fave here on my little corner of the world as seen through my lens.
