The focus, the intense concentration, the ability to remain completely still – these are all traits I admire in Grey herons, and the performance of this particular bird on one of Cardiff’s canals this morning was a fisher’s masterclass. Sadly, though I watched it for at least 20 minutes, it didn’t actually catch anything. In fact, I’m not sure how many fish there are in those canals. But, the bird deserves a gold medal for trying!
