Never imagined Herons would fish in the sea rather than fresh water, but I suppose they don't know the difference.
That is a pretty young one. Most of the ones I saw at our last house were quite a bit bigger than that.

About 2 minutes later I got a boa constrictor out! It was about 3 times the size.

This afternoon I had a walk on Dartmoor. I parked up from Cadover Bridge at the imerys china clay area. My plan was to walk up to Great Trowelsworthy Tor , then over the moor to Hen Tor. Hen Tor is about as secluded as it gets on the southern side of the moor. It was me , a few sheep, cows and horses.
At the pool that feeds the china clay facility there were 6 Goosander.
I also saw Wheatear, skylark, meadow pipit, buzzard and raven.
There was lots of heather around in places, and I eventually found a round leaved sundew.

Doves are frequent visitors in and around our garden, and we have a nesting pair in situ in this pic, indicated by the arrow
And a close up of the chicks, well camouflaged
These type are called peaceful doves, or barred doves, or zebra doves, depending on the part of the world they're in.
A few years back I made a small dovecot specially for them, but they just ignore it, preferring a dilapidated old basket instead
