An Opportunist Queensbury Thief

I went out back some 25 minutes ago and realised there was a familiar sound missing. It was the water pump in next door neighbours fish pond that had stopped working. So I had a gander at the pond and saw the inhabitants carp goldfish etc were absent. The protective netting was still intact so I wrongly presumed that the neighbour had sold his stock.

As it happened I bumped into said neighbour and he told me that a suspect Heron had gobbled the lot of them. The bird must have paid a few visits probably at dawn to have silently consumed them all. He mentioned a Grey Heron was knocking around the golf course just down the frog 🐸 n toad.
