To most I suppose, it may mean nothing but over the past year or so I have become very attached to our local Herons and perhaps simply because they are such magnificent looking creatures. I am no ornithologist and what I know about birds could be written on the back of a postage stamp but whether the pair of Seagulls I inherited from my Father who like a breakfast to the Herons on the Brue, I really like my “bird people”.

There is a very large old Heron on the Brue, he is a magnificent creature, pretty cool and not easily spooked but, for the past 6 weeks or more, I haven’t seen him and I worried. He probably has many fishing grounds and two younger Herons were fishing the Brue but, was he okay I asked myself. Then yesterday on the high tide, there he was, just lovely and to share…

King Heron
