[mollykins]

we don't live far away from the marshes and river, but we've never seen them flying over our house and garden.

[Ankou]

yes you have, you just said you did.

[redcrx]

call the EDP, they may be interested :)

[Bbbananas]

eau de parfum?

[mollykins]

Are they looking for food?

[NoMercy]

In my ex's old house, we would see the heron come down at first light and sit on the edge of the pool. Tony had some massive koi carp outside the back of the property, and eventually realised the merits of a pool net, after seeing the heron fly off with one of his babies one morning.

Maybe they can't use the roads due to the snow?

[ummmm]

Hugh...she's only 16. Be nice.

had a snipe in garden yesterday havent seen one for years

[Bbbananas]

Heron's are beautiful birds. So elegant. Are they the ones that stand on one leg (as well as flamingos?)

[ummmm]

She actually gets involved in debates which I think is good for her age.

[Bbbananas]

yeah - good one mollykins.

[4getmenot]

I think she sounds alot older for her age.

[mollykins]

I love having a good ol' debate. So is it going further away from its home to find food? I wouldn't have thought the river would freeze, what other stuff do they eat?

[Ankou]

herons eat anything from fish, insects, frogs, toads to moles, small mammals, 16 year od girls and will clear out your garden pond within seconds

I havent got a pond and i'm indoors so i should be safe.
