The young Heron was waiting at the entrance again. When she spotted me she came walking towards me. I was just about finished feeding her when she went very still . I looked around and saw a man coming up the path. Next thing, she took off over to the loch calling as she went. I was just thinking that she never normally bothers about people passing, when a woman with a golden lab came round a corner. I am utterly amazed at her instincts.
I wandered over to the loch never really expecting her to fly over again but she must have been hungry because she was straight over to finish her fish.
Dana Lightman Beautiful photo and loved the story. It must be thrilling to develop that kind of trust with an animal in its natural habitat.
