Grey heron hunting from a post.

---

Grey heron sat on a post and patiently waiting for movement from fish. It seemed to use this vantage point to scan the lake, then move down on to water when a fish touched the surface, after success or failiure it would then return to posts and start over. Was usually lucky though.
