Stalking

The heron was not in its usual spot on the coot's nest. No matter, I found it anyway. It must be sick of the sight of me.
It was hiding in the shade which makes it smarter than me out in the midday sunshine.
When is the rain arriving I want to know?
I headed over to the nature reserve where I spotted a couple of grebe feeding their young (see extra), but couldn't get a good enough photograph of them all together.
Later I sat on a blanket under a shady tree until it was nearly sunset.
