He Greets Me Every Morning Now


Harry stands for ages in freezing cold water
where the lilly pads grow


All puffed up


Somehow his long, long neck is in there
being kept warm amidst the feathers.

I know, two days in a row on the same bird!
My apologies
but he is so gorgeous!

  6. No need to apologize. This heron is so stately and also slightly sinister. Beautiful!

  7. We have a resident heron here too! How lovely that you have named him :) ours is very, very shy. He usually flies away as soon as he spots us and he takes my breath away - at first a loud flap of huge wings and then such gracefulness! Gorgeous, amazing bird!!!
