Description

I Was Meant To Be A Heron

Well got the bike out for the first time this year and hope the shoulder holds out and it's back to the Isle of Wight Pond on Bookham Common. I am after catching a heron or two in flight like I saw the other week- alas I did see just one but far too far away and it must have been returning to it's nest ( or heronry as we should say ). I may not have got to see the herons close enough to photograph but oh my what a noise was made when they return to the nest and the young ones start up - the sounds I heard today were something like the soundtrack from a dinosaur movie !!. So folks no heron so another ( I presume another one anyway ) dragonfly which may be a "Scarce Chaser" but then again I am no expert.
