i live in watford and have a small garden with a low wall which backs onto a lot of land with river etc. for the last few weeks i have this heron that comes and sits just beyond my garden wall for absolutely ages, just sits there still. They are massive birds! amazing tho.
yeh it did look quite stern, it looked like it was spying on something! fantastic creature to see one out of my window so chilled out
and thanks for the welcome
Hi Jojo and welcome from me in Lancashire.
He will be fishing if he is sitting so still for long periods - watching the river for his dinner to come along. Yes, they are massive birds when you see them close up.
Cheers, Linda.
See my photos on Flickr
ill have a go! it must have found a good spot cos ive seen it more than once, however its not by the river so could it be having a break from fishing!?
Could be looking for other food. They will eat other things apart from fish.
i am new to watching birds but ive always had a fasination since i was at first school. im lucky where i live cos i get to see swans, herons and i think theyre pheasants with long tail feathers from my from room window lol! you guys have encouraged me to study out there more....
