  2. There's something very incongruous about a heron flying over rooftops - good one Juliet - I like this

    Every night, the skies are filled with herons and egrets and storks headed back to the rookeries.

    Love the vision you gave me.

  5. Brian - you're lucky to see so many of them! There are plenty of herons in Edinburgh, but not normally flying over the nearby roofs!

  7. Must be on its way to someone's pond to gobble all their fish or the frogs, toads and newts :)

    We have one like that who comes to our ponds for his share of the goodies.

  10. Lovely contrast of natural and man-made elements. You capture them like a snapshot in words.

    I wish you well.
