Young Grey Heron

I went up to the loch about half an hour later (the clocks go back tonight and I wanted to break the young Heron in a bit). It was obvious I was late as she was waiting for me on the viewing platform. As soon as she saw me she jumped down to the side of the loch. I think she was the closest she has been in a long time. I started feeding her and mid way through I felt a tugging on my jeans. When I turned round I was surrounded by Greylags one of which was tugging my jeans. A bit startled, I dropped the piece of fish I had in my hand which was immediately picked up by a Coot. The young Heron was not happy at that and started poking at the coot which picked up the fish and ran. The geese realised that there was nothing for them and wandered off. I continued feeding the young one and peace was restored. I will take something up for the geese tomorrow in case they return!
