In the hushed stillness of the shallows, the grey heron makes its move. With the elegance of a seasoned hunter, it spears the unsuspecting perch, lifting it from the murky depths in a flash of orange and silver. For the fish, it is the final flicker of defiance. For the heron, it is breakfast—earned through patience and poise.
