Down by the river, below the croaking tree-tops

Plenty of time for another reservoir visit yesterday, the place must be getting tired of me, though the herons don't seem to mind...

What's he looking at?

An ambitious sized fish for such a young heron, and lucky escape for a big lazy carp.

Then drama! A yearling swooped in and chased new fledger away...

...circling back around to claim the castle.


Not to worry, youngster found branches further down the river,

Faraway from the fuss the matured adults have free reign over the safer reedbeds...

...hey, one day youngster!
