At Swan Lake there are many swans that a young heron should be attentive to.

Perhaps this Mute Swan realized the heron was no threat as he didn’t get up as the stalking went on behind him.

The heron wasn’t much of a threat to any fish, either.

Later in the morning I saw a parent bring him some food as he’s still learning how to catch his own.
