There are lots of headless herons loafing about the marsh at the moment in the hope of picking off a stray chick or two but our mad Lapwings are very much up to the task and are chasing off every single bird they see (including Mr P!).
The Herons are having to resort to more normal fayre and are largely preying on the Marsh Frogs although with the gloomy coll conditions even they are trickier to find!
