Habitat

As per previous report. Due to lack of substantial rain the pool's water level is sinking further. I noticed a Black Faced Heron fishing at the pool next to the house. This pool is surrounded by high and spreading trees. However, the Heron had no problem,s navigating whilst flying in/ out, landing/ take off.
