Well folks, it was a great gig yesterday in search of the Green Heron. We walked along a beautiful stretch of the Military Canal for about 600 yards. When we first got there, the bird was showing really well, out in the open. It moved around, about 10 yards at a time, then after about 20 mins, it took off over a hedge beside the river, and disappeared for a while. At that point Hazel and I went and had lunch, came back, and the bird had moved a further 400 yards along the river. This time the bird stayed under cover between reeds and twigs, and only popped its head out when it was fishing. It was a very successful at fishing, and caught three fish from three attempts. The weather was really beautiful, the sun was behind us, and the twitchers were quite a good bunch. So all in all, a very great day out with quite a few piccies to go through.
