Young Grey Heron

I went up to the loch early afternoon and the young heron flew over to the fence, which runs round the loch. She was standing waiting for me. Unfortunately before I could get there someone's dog ran over and she was off! I stood about but there was no way she was coming back over.

I had some shopping to do so returned via the loch. When I got to the end of the loch, she was standing waiting. This time I had some fish so she got her treat, stood around a while and then took off. She may not appear every visit but I am now fairly confident that she will come over and still recognises me. I noticed she is really starting to mature with the darker plumage around her head.
