Thanks! I saw that movie when it first came out. It's probably time for a re-watch!Nice photo! You reminded me of the movie Rush Hour. Have you seen it, LOL? If not, highly recommend it!

Ahh! thank you for pointing that out and clarifying it. Perhaps, Alfred is eating small insects and mammals around, then.
Is it a problem that they are eating animals? That's what they are designed to do.

Yes, herons -- Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, Night Heron, etc., all eat more than just fish. While they probably do nibble on greens, as I have seen Alfred do occasionally, when hungry they also will grab frogs and even small goslings or ducklings..... Each year in the past we would see a family of four or five ducklings.....and the next day maybe there would be only two or three. A predator got them. Not just pointing the finger at herons, though; we have other, larger predators around here as well, including a couple of big turtles. There are also creatures who don't live in the water but are near it a lot, including raccoons.
A large portion of fried shrimps for 600 yen? That's a decent price.
The stalls give me an appetite. Luckily there are several izakaya in the neighborhood, so we can sit and have a meal and some Sapporo!
Some carnivores will occasionally munch on some greenery, perhaps to get a bit of nutrients they are lacking. I know dogs and cats will do it. Our cat tries to eat any plant we bring into the house, and it typically doesn’t stay down long. I don’t know if that is just because they shouldn’t eat certain plants, but I have heard of people glowing a small pot of grass for their cats to munch on.
I'm glad you brought this up. I went to a bird site a little earlier and that site said Herons absolutely do not eat plant life. It did mention that different types of Herons eat more of one thing than another, but they were adamant about the no plant life. It surprised me quite a bit and then I got to thinking about how they just gulp whole things down that gullet - maybe plants wouldn't work with that system of consumption.

My mother would always would say it was to help digestion.
The last trip to Africa resulted in one of the most incrediable opportunities of my life. We were tracking a pair of lioness most of the morning. The decision was made to swing a wide circle and see if we could get in front of them. Ninety minutes later walking towards us was the holy grail of Africa, a white lion. She was one of the 6 remain wild white lions remaining on the planet. The brown color on her is Cape Buffalo dung, she and her sister were pairalleling a herd of them in hopes of making a kill.

The Supermoon rises from behind clouds as seen near the California Tower in Balboa Park, San Diego.
This is a composite image because the moon is 6 stops brighter than the light on the tower. But I didn't zoom the lens between exposures, or change the size of the moon while making the composite.

Some lovely floral colour on my morning walk yesterday -- this setting was found in an entrance garden to an apartment complex.
