White-faced Heron strikes again

Week ago missed White-faced Heron's strike, grab and swallow but today did slightly better as similar fish rose and descended to its doom.

Took four return trips to pool in Townsville Town Common before bird obliged with repeat performance. Who knows, our chats together may have helped?

Elsewhere in the Common, former Black-winged now Pied Stilt stood out one morning at Pandanus viewing area.

And Red-kneed Dotterel seemed worth more than one look.
