It was behind my garden the other day trying to neck a 1lb dead trout, it left it behind.
grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet.

Saw a heron this evening about 5.45pm at the end of Charlton Avenue right next to Barton Path. Is there only one?

there have been reports of 2 herons in the area that you speak of karlos, you must have good eyesight to have spotted that one so late.

Aren't there two in the picture above?

must have been 3 or 4 years ago that one arrived just before christmas and stayed for several weeks, walking around the bandstand and looking vulnerable to attack.
eventually it decamped to pastures/water new.
