The usual walk around Priory on the way to do the shopping resulted in me seeing my friend the heron. He was standing in the tree on the edge of the main lake. When I walked further along, I saw his friend also sitting in a tree trying to fish!
Glorious detail! I came down Garret Hostel Bridge this afternoon and there was a heron about 8 ft away from me (too close for the zoom lens that was round my neck. I did my usual 'I could get a brilliant nature shot sharp intake of breath' and he looked at Monty and took off.
