grey heron





I felt sorry for this grey heron that I saw yesterday near Colinton Weir on the Water of Leith. For quite a while it was flying around seeming to have been disturbed by some dogs that were playing in the river (though the nearby mallards seemed unpeturbed). It landed eventually in this tree, which made a nice photo opportunity.

  2. I guess it was the equivalent of getting a telemarketing phone call during dinner!
