I love to see the herons at our pond.

You know the old saying "speak of the devil" ... out of the blue my next door neighbour (1/2 a mile away but passes for close here 🙂) sent me this pic he took this morning ... he dug some pretty subsatantial ponds about 3 years ago as he's a 'bird man' (does bird-surveys for a living) ... well chuffed to have an otter visiting .... but, like me, his are wildlife ponds rather than ornamental ... I'm sure he'd be much less chuffed if he was a 'fish man' instead! ... they do travel a bit so very likely the otter will turn up on our pond before very much longer.
