There is a heronry near by and we get loads of them, got a pic somewhere of one stood on the fence at the bottom of the garden.

Post by: Kevin Wood on 08 March 2012, 14:15:17: Saw one of those swoop down into my neighbour's pond one morning.

Dormer window of the en-suite opened and, amongst a cloud of steam, a can of deodorant flew out. ;D

It was a brilliant shot, certainly saw it off. ;D
