There I was at the kitchen sink yesterday morning, when I looked up and saw - a very disgruntled looking heron on the neighbour's roof! This was the sixth day of deep snow and frozen lochs and rivers, so I guess the old chap was trying his luck with suburban garden ponds.
He does look fed up - and I'm sure he's thinking I should have put some fish and frogs out on the bird table!
The picture's a bit grainy, because it was a very grey day and I was shooting through the window, but it is nice to have something unexpected in the file marked 'garden birds'!
Still, it's beginning to thaw today and I managed to get a decent sized shopping done, so the larder's all stocked up again for the next snowfall.
