This is very interesting! I've seen a few videos of crows using
tools also, but never a water bird doing this:

looks like a small heron.

What an astonishing piece of film - have never seen a bird using bait before.

Do you know what type of Heron it is, looks smaller than the ones we get here. (difficut to tell though as there was nothing in the video that gave scale)

mrsD replied accidentally on this thread below about the Heron.
I'm sure she won't mind my reposting...

Thanks, Lara. I don't dare try and move things using
This iPhone. Not only are the screens tiny and difficult
To see, they flip easily after the last iOS updates.

One of those disconnected my email and I had to call our
Son to talk me thru a complex fix! And he had to research
It besides to tell me how to re- establish it back!

So I appreciate any help you can deliver, Lara, while I am
away.
