Ardea cinerea..

I wonder if it notices how cold its feet are...? Perhaps that's why its knees are so high up. Won't fall over because it's got very long toes. Gosh, today, I'm a heron guru! It must be a lonely life being a single, solitary grey heron. Where is its partner, soulmate, fish-flapping buddy to share all those cute, fishy stories with? It stands so still just watching, a young child could take lessons from a heron! Either that, or it's spotted me and my binos eyeing it up, though it's not exactly the singleton I was hoping for! Hey ho, it can stand all day by my big lake because there are plenty more tasty fish for me!
