He got his lunch

We watched this heron catch a rat and at first when he tried to fly off, he dropped it. However, he wasn't going to be beaten and he chased it and grabbed it again. In this shot he is making sure that he doesn't drop it as he fancies a tasty lunch.

I still haven't managed to get my laptop talking to the printer although funnily enough my iPad printed something so it was obviously right in some way. It is so frustrating and the chap from HP hasn't phoned me either. I will just have to wait and see what happens as I have exhausted all my options.

Thank you for getting Robbie on PP yesterday and for all your kind comments and Favs. It is always much appreciated.

Whst a great catch, that must have been fun to watch.

I had a similar problem at one time between my HP laptop and printer.I had to get a cable and do a wired connection between the two, and then it was OK

[Rosie Kind]

@carolmw Perhaps that’s what I need to do

[Joan Robillard]

Fabulous timing

[Helen Jane]

and here am I thinking they only eat fish. Great catch on the camera - you can almost see the distress of the rat.

[Kim Capson]

Amazing!

[Taffy]

Oh wow!

[Rick]

Wow, didn't realize that the would go after things like that. I thought they were pretty much fish eaters. Awesome capture.

I know little about tech, but try googling the issue and maybe re-install the printer driver (this is the software that let them 'talk' to each other which can usually be down loaded for free).

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, my word, this is a fab capture! Well done you!!!

[Rosie Kind]

@carolmw The only trouble is, I can't find a connection thing on the printer.

[Rosie Kind]

@joysabin Thanks I will try that

[Merrelyn]

Great capture

[Steve Jacob]

A brilliant capture Rosie. The Heron will eat anything it can swallow

[wendy frost]

Brilliant capture but I feel a little sorry for the rat .

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Great capture Rosie, happy it was only a rat. FAV
