Young Grey Heron

The young Heron met me this morning at the entrance. She was a bit messy around her head, presumably from feeding the young. When I went back this afternoon she jumped the fence round the loch and wandered over to the area in front of the play area. She was soon followed by two crows. They kept jumping towards her food as it landed and jumping back as she went to get it. I threw a whitebait to her and one of the crows flew between us and grabbed it in mid air. It then dropped it in front of the other crow who ate it and flew away. I managed to sneak it a small whitebait and it took off. Both times the young Heron flew straight back to the nest area.
