May 30, 2026: Blue heron enjoying a crayfish for its breakfast in Hattori Ryokuchi Park

May 30, 2026: While taking an early morning walk and having breakfast on a beautiful Saturday morning, I happened to come across a blue heron enjoying a crayfish for its breakfast as well. I couldn't help wondering—aren't they a bit too hard to eat?







Blue herons are known for being extremely cautious, but perhaps because it was completely focused on its breakfast, I was able to get surprisingly close and capture a few photos. I was amazed to see the heron swallow the crayfish whole.















Enjoyed a pasta lunch today at a stylish new café that I happened to discover, which recently opened just a short walk from my home.
