Fish [as] Food

Every morning as part of my daily routine I feed this fish in the pond off our deck.

This morning I found a critter looking at the fish as food.

Here's the view as I came around the corner of the house. A Great Blue Heron. I managed to snap three shots with my phone before it flew off.

Not the first time we've had a Heron in the yard, but the first time I've seen one inside the pond fence. I have no idea if it enjoyed any of the fish. And as there are over 80 (!) fish in the pond I've no way to tell if any are missing (and they've been making more each year).

I counted 94 fish in the image above.

Which is a good thing, as the Heron is not the only threat ...
