Thanks for all the comments guys, this is the chap that sits on my wall every morning waiting for dog food, sardines and whatever else he can get!
I live about 500m from a river where approx 6 Herons hang about,Little egrets frequent too and a Dipper occasionally.
It’s got to the stage now where I can call the male heron from across the field using hand gestures ( Dont ask ) :lol:
It’s great to have a rapport with the birds like that. I could spend hours with the little Robin who’d eat from my hand in our old house… t’was almost a therapeutic in many respects.
Ooooh…..a lefty :wink: When you can commune with wild creatures on their own terms its a very spiritual thing….thats my paganism rearing its head :lol:
