I share this one as it was one of the funniest things I,ve seen. No photographic masterpiece, and makes a break form Snipes !!
This young heron had been preening in front of me for about an hour. Most of the time it spent stabbing at dragonflies in the thisles around him. This Sympetrum kept landing on his head aand of course evry time the heron made a futile stab at it it would take off and then land again.. The bird got quite fed up in the end and cleared off!! Funny to watch. The smaller damsel fly sems to be amused by the affair too! Some of the stuff in the beak is thistledown
