There were 4 heron today, the little female (pictured), the original young one, the adult male and the male with the dark patch. They all had a good feed at the entrance and I made for the slope. They all followed and as I got closer to the water. I heard the chicks making a right noise. So good to hear them.
I was heading around the path when I heard splashing and turned to see the coot running across the water. I waited until it reached the edge of the loch then gave it a biscuit. About 4 crows today.
