A visitor to the garden.

Fabulous photo Spritzh, what a treat!

oh, wow. how far away were you? at least the height of the tree, lol.

Wow! What a lovely thing to happen! They are such lovely birds. I became quite taken with them on our earlier holidays in Tenerife! :)) Lucky you!

Did it stay there for very long Barbara?

Yes, about half an hour. I had to use the zoom on my camera to 'get' him. :-)

Nice to see your photo made it into GoYpedia Barbara.

So it did! :-D)

Ha ha, Fran! ;-D)

Unusual photo, very well caught too.

Thank you. :-)

When we lived down the road from here we used to get herons sitting on the roofs, and I think they used to eye the local garden ponds up as one day they got our fish.

Oh no - I'm afraid that's what they do. My friend has wires all round her pond to deter them. It seems to work, too!
