Heron's lesson in patience

The normally super shy Chinese Pond Heron was so focused that it didn't even sense me approaching.  In fact I wasn't sure what it was preoccupied with so I waited, and waited and waited, and was going to walk away when it finally moved forward.

And bingo!

And then it's time to move on.

This time it acted so speedily that I was unable to react in tandem!

But going by the big gulp, looked like it's success too!
