Grey Heron

There were no Heron around when I went up to the loch this morning. I went back at about 11:00 am and the older female flew over. She was more nervous than she usually is but ate a fair bit of Sardine, whitebait and pollock. I am sure I spotted the male but the path was very busy and he was never coming over. I went back after lunch and thought there was going to be nothing again when my heron flew over to the clearing. She was also very nervous but had a good feed of whitebait.
I haven't seen the youngest one for a few days now so can only imagine that she has been chased to the other side of the loch.
