Grey Heron

As I was walking round the loch this morning I heard a strange repeating call. I knew it was a heron but it wasn't the usual call. I looked over to what I thought was the young one (turned out it was the adult) at the other side of the loch on a platform being swooped on by several gulls. They were swooping overhead but not getting too close as the heron was jabbing up at them as they flew over. When I got to the clearing the young one was waiting. She was distracted though by what I assume was a distress call from the adult. She did not seem to want her fish. Eventually the gulls gave up and flew off and peace was restored. The young one picked up the fish she had missed/left and finished of the rest that I had with me.
