Young Grey Heron

Got to the loch this morning just as the young Heron spotted me and landed by the drainage area. There was no sign of the other adult however a lady walking her dog told me there was another heron just a a bit further round the loch. When I explained about the young one she was quite fascinated. She made her way round away from the drainage area and I fed the young Heron her fish with no disturbance from any geese etc. When I finished she jumped up onto the old access point and stared up the loch. I am getting some nice close up shots of her and notice her beak is getting more orange, another sign she is getting ready to breed.
