A strange morning, something had obviously spooked the heron as there were none around for a while. Three eventually appeared but stayed within the fence round the loch until I sought out the coots, at which point they flew out and onto the grass. The coots were there in numbers! Both families and they got a bit extra when I returned later with Mrs D who fed them birdseed. The shot is the mucky male with the little female not happy he has landed near me. She did actually move him on a bit.
