On guard!

On guard!
We think this is the same heron as the one seen flying a short time before on the previous page (see Pip). Seen on a wall belonging to an old cotton mills during one of our recent local lock-down walks. I was going to have this one here just as a PiP but I think you will agree he’s (?) a bit too impressive for simply being delegated to that pip position.

The winter Pip shows the area at the other side of this mill as I took the flight shot and shows the herons usual habitat.

See previous photo for more info.

He does a bit, I must admit. It was actually pretty windy and he was above me here and it was just probably the wind catching his breast feathers.

Cheers, Herb

I'd have to agree, this avian portrait is too good to be relegated to "just a PiP", Herb.
