Honestly there are Herons here!
Old Nog, flying on wide wings,
Flapping slowly across the sky.
A flight to a nest
Long legs and neck extending
Squabbling with its mate.
Grey dots in my camera’s lens,
Specks of dust, motes in the air
I see them there.
Herons, like long necked dinosaur birds,
Cawing and squawking.
Flailing legs and beaks.
Life is returning to the lake.

They are such beautiful animals ( unless you keep koi carp in which case they become a bird shaped bogeyman ).

We have some goldfish but the pond is surrounded by trees and has a net over it.

Yep… Now I need to find something to keep sparrow hawks away!

My dad uses a rather life-like model of an eagle owl which he has on his roof! It scares the wotsits out of other birds, even predators. It took a roofer friend to get it up there though.
