Frog Snatcher

An adult Grey Heron was trying his luck at catching the spawning frogs in the pond again this morning.  I had thought that the frogs had finished for the year judging by the amount of spawn present, but in recent sunny days, another 10 to 20 have appeared.  With their outstanding eyesight, Grey Herons will spook at the slightest movement, even through double glazed windows, so this record shot was taken whilst lying on my stomach with up stretched arms.  When I stood up, he took off immediately with a loud 'craak' - but I'm sure he'll be back during a quieter moment.  (Although there are several metal ornaments surrounding him, I assure you that he is not plastic!)
