There were 8 heron today 7 were at the entrance to the park and the 8th was the adult male at the clearing.
As I got near the park at least 5 were circling overhead. They then all landed in the park and sorted themselves out. By the time I got into the park there were 7 waiting. The little female (pictured) and 2 others and the young male, the juvenile female and and 2 others on the other side. As I am going in later (when it gets light) it is different passers by that are seeing them for the first time. Lots of photos taken.
I then went to the clearing and fed the adult male as well as 3 others who followed me. The crows got biscuits.
