frogs for breakfast?

Recently I was just thinking how long its been since I've seen the herons fishing on the mudflats. They were absent again this morning so I went for a walk and discovered one at the dyers pool.
I have been hearing a loud chorus from the resident frogs in this pond on many a morning visit so perhaps the heron had been hunting them. A big fat frog would make a nice breakfast for a heron.
And he had the perfect perch!


When a cicada landed on the herons perch it almost became a snack but luckily for the cicada the birds neck wasn't quite long enough.
