Wonderful photograph Carol, but toad has missed his chance to appear in The Wind and the Willows now :'(

Great photo! Where did you take the photo?
The da** Heron is visiting daily at the moment and my Orf are up!!! However, I feel the pond is too deep for Mr/Mrs Heron and hopefully the fish will dive down. However, Heron got the only Toad I had. LOL
Picture was taken through my Dining Room window. The Heron was obviously hungry because he didn't fly off when I banged on the window.

Ah! poor toad Carol but what a great photo.
Judging by the length of the legs, I think that's an ex-frog.
Wow! Perhaps wil net our pond. Although deep, it has suffered from Heron puncture...we're surrounded by woods so it took him a while to get lift off!
Terrific photos of a wonderful bird, but I'm glad that I don't have a pond to worry about! :)
fantastic pictures :)
must say when i saw a heron for the first time at work years back i had brown trousers almost,some dinosaur thing staring at me?? :o :o
but weve lost a few fish their way in the past so the ponds well netted now,aswell as motion lights,so theyve gone next door instead lol
amazing creatures
