His loss...

There was just the heron and I at the end of the west pier this morning. 
As I emerged from the water, he let me get close. Real close. 
He did not however allow me to regurgitate some well-chewed mackerel straight into his beak. 
His loss...

See that futuristic building in the background? What is undoubtedly the best library in Ireland, possibly Europe, possibly... the world.
Great things planned for this place in January 2020. Watch this space.
