    This heron ate all my parents' fish every year until they gave up and filled the pond and paved it over. It still returns every year and stands there looking bewildered.pic.twitter.com/Ao38rCcW0h

        That's spiteful. Were they going to eat the fish?

        No instead they poured concrete on them. Probably worse than getting eaten by a heron.

        Idk if the British have fish... I think it's just beans, sausages, salt pork, something called "pork faggots" lemons (for scurvy), hardtack... That sort of stuff

        Are they going to re-dig the pond, and re-stock it?

        As a side note, I can tell this is a British heron. Australian herons would not be so baffled at seeing a body of water dry up

        This lovely red-head was quite insistent that I feed her my sandwich one day at work. Resorted to tossing bits a few feet away to give me time to finish my lunch...at which point her and her several friends circled us like sharks until we left.pic.twitter.com/c7CuqXJfaS

        Awww...poor heron. He's gotten used to having that food supply there where he could have a nice, solitary, casual meal. This is the issue with feeding any kind of birds, even accidentally, is that they rely on it being there.

        My wife thinks that you need to give it more fish. It looks very sad.

        Drought instinct: even if waters are gone, they might come back when the drought is over.

        Is this a scientific theory or a guess? I’m not asking in a rude way, I’m genuinely interested.

        It is neither: I’ve grown up around heron my whole life. They check every puddle that ever fed them.
