yeah, you're right, he does look like a bit of an old grouch : )

many thanks, Alex, Mary in Kent and Carol.

I did try to get some with the heron's reflection in the water, so will put one of those up later.

The man who was taking pics of this guy when we got there, said the heron had started to get some of his breeding colours. I don't know that much about them tho', will hafta read up on them and see what it says in the bird books.

What a wonderful picture to get- like the reflection in blue.
