Heron in a tree

Busy morning on the allotment before it got too hot. Planting out the cuttings and seedling including, squash, courgettes, pumpkin, artichoke, sweetcorn and sunflowers! Good to get it all out the garden and away from the beady eyes of the hens!

This evening we went for a bug infested bird sanctuary walk and saw this heron sitting in a tree. We watched him swoop down and take a fish out the water which was very near to us. Couldn't hang about too many bugs.

I promised myself that once i got a job I would invest in a DSLR - just need to decide whether its a canon or nikon. Louis is buying a nikon second hand from a friend and we could share lenses. emmm decisions......
