Great excitement this afternoon - two herons circled the duck pond. I rushed out with my camera in slippers and without coat - lined up the camera and snapped. Nothing! I had forgotten to take the cap off the camera!! Waited and waited until they circled again but every time I snapped all I captured was branches and bare blue sky. One even landed in a tree opposite my garden and in my excitement I just missed it. Finally caught this one before they flew off, calling to each other. (I think they were laughing at me!).

Wish I'd seen you - if it's the one that emptied my pond, would you shoot it with a gun instead of a camera next time please! You will be able to recognise it by how fat it is.

You got your photo eventually.
Well done for persistence.
Have you seen herons locally before ?
