WYSIWYG
What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Oh, you say, water again... yes, but with a Heron to watch. This is the mighty Clyde River gushing gloriously at New Lanark. The Heron fascinated me. I am used to seeing them standing by riverbanks where the water stills somewhat, or is at least clear, the better to see the fish beneath the surface. This one appeared to be wanting something just to land at its feet! In the first clip, you see it shuffle and shift. In the second clip, keep your focus on the bird but keep it a little unfocused. Don't blink, or you'll miss it. Like the bird did!

Loved this video
ReplyDeleteA white sage?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the river is moving too fast for the heron to catch a meal.
Great videos and I love the heron! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I would think the rushing water would be more challenging for the heron than "fishing" where it's more calm.
ReplyDeleteI have seen herons fishing in rapids and they seemed to do well. They strike with lightening speed as you know and seemed adept at catching fish that rose above the foam and were momentarily clear of the water. Perhaps certain individuals specialize in these locations and benefit from reduced competition.
ReplyDeleteOM YAM I saw the fish jump swimming up stream. WOW Thanks for the heads up on where to look
ReplyDeleteThose are some white water rapids

Oh yes, I spotted the athletic fish!
ReplyDeleteThat is fast water! Wow. Take care! XX
ReplyDeleteThat really is something to see. Usually the Herons are in calm water here or even the swamps.
ReplyDeleteWow, that water sure was in a hurry. Carried that fish away at lightning speed. Smart heron to just stand and watch.
ReplyDeleteGoing upstream! Was it a spawning season for something to make it want to exert that much effort?
ReplyDeleteWell captured videos!
ReplyDeleteGreat videos! And I LOVED the jumping fish! Love Barb
ReplyDeleteThose are great videos. We think the heron did see the flying fish but it was too far away for him to catch it.
ReplyDeleteWe have a few herons in my part of southern NJ. We love to spot them in the parks and flying overhead.
