I’m sittin’ in my tree just trying to chill, you know? Maybe do some preening, maybe pick off a few lice, like any normal bird. But the fukkin paparazzi are on my ass. Using my image without my permission, which is just so human, if you know what I mean. They don’t care. I could be trying to squeeze out an egg. No respect. No respect at all. Mavis, call my lawyer!
I was walking along a nearby canal last weekend, and spotted a heron looking intently at the water.
Sat down and watched for about half-an-hour before it made a strike at a fish.
A very patient fisherman.
Stunning. Just freaking great.
That’s all I’ve got, Dr. T.
Fracking awesome.

@Michael Reynolds:
The bird does look miffed.
Great pic.

Egrets, I’ve seen a few
But then again, to few to mention…

@JohnSF:
And here I thought I was the champion maker of bad puns.
@CSK:
Not while I’m still wasting oxygen, y’ ain’t. 🙂
Incidentally initially read your comment as saying “Great pie.” LOL.
Also, heron pudding?
I think not, on the whole, thanks all the same…
@JohnSF:
No, it says “great pic.”
Check your vision, please.
