Heron Garden Visitor

Hey me again I know so long since last post - trying to get everyone back up to speed with my birding adventures haha.

So where were we..... ah yes Friday morning.

I am lying in bed as you do and Mam shouts up the stairs 'Quick look out the window' so a sleepy headed Rhona lops off to the window to see what the fuss is about and lo and behold its a Heron again but he/she didn't stay too long, however in the afternoon she/he turned up again and I managed to get some snaps.

Malachii (our resident male magpie) had to have a look so he appears too.
Malachii and Heron- sorry the magpie is a bit blurred
'If I crouch do you think he can see me???'
The action is watched by a bemused Wood pigeon.
Malachii continues his SAS approach across the gutter not realising the Heron has cottoned on to his plan.
'Hello I can see you down there you know? What are you doing?'
Lets all look over here now
Think Ill head off - nothing much doing fish wise.
'Byeeeeee'

You had the Heron there before didn't you? Its obviously decided its a good perching spot. Malachi will have to get used to her/him!

Yeah its actually the 3rd time one of them have come to have a wee look - he'd better as I think it is not the last time we will see him/her.
