Remember, when a heron alights, it always does so some distance from the

or get a dog.

One Jack Russell, one wire-haired Dachshund, nul points!

For points you need pointers.

We've also seen a heron appear to be floating like a duck, it caught a fish
whilst doing it.

There seem to be some very strange herons around! We saw one here
sitting on top of a hedge - it looked very silly.
