The Black heron has an interesting hunting method called canopy feeding—it uses its wings like an umbrella.

This Black Heron reminds me of some of the 'hunting' antics the Reddish Egret uses - - very nicely captured

Mooi om dat te zien Ton. Kan hij zo zelf beter in het water turen (minder schittering) of reageert de prooi op de schaduw? V groet, Bert
