Herons, Cormorants and Gulls eat a lot of fish which is not surprising. What was surprising was to find three birds in the act of doing just this at Humber Bay.

NATURE POETRY
Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods,
And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt. – William Allingham (1824–89)
Miles Hearn
Talk about a bounty of birds! As for fish catching–I saw another instance of this from the bridge before other people arrived for the walk, along with a swimming beaver and a mink scurrying along the rocks. What a morning, and one of those cases when I wish I had a camera. Thanks for the record, Miles!
(P.S. If I no longer post a comment each day, it is because I am now taking part directly and thought I would give people a break. It is certainly wonderful to be back, taking actual walks!)
