Council heron

Well, it doesn't belong to the council, although it probably hangs around outside the council offices quite a bit. This was taken at the duck pond behind Wokingham's main council building. A quiet spot at weekends and bank holidays.

The heron spotted me straight away, but didn't seem too worried as I was the other side of the fence which, handily, gave me something to steady the camera on as I zoomed in. Herons have a habit of standing very still, which is very helpful when you're trying to take a picture!
