Grey Heron
When I approached the loch this morning there were 4 crows waiting just outside the gate I gave them some biscuits and turned to go into the park. The the young one flew over my shoulder and landed just inside the gate. She was joined by the new male who she chased further into the park. I caught up with her and started feeding her. Within minutes we were joined by the 2 youngest herons and the new male. The young one kept chasing them and returning to me for a feed. I deliberately avoided feeding the others in the young one's territory so as not to encourage them. I knew they would follow me round to the side of the loch, which 2 of them, the new male and what I think is a young female. The regular male was waiting in the water at his usual spot. I fed the 3 of them there and then made my way home.
The extra is the very young female.
