bad news...i had to net my pond in Norfolk..bloomin' nuisance they are

[Peter Pedant]

I was walking in the woods c the dog

and a heron/crane managed to fly and negotiate vertical lift amongst all the branches. I watched transfixed

[sandyRoe]

They're lovely creatures but maybe not so attractive if you've a pond of goldfish.

[murraymints]

and don't let them start nesting on your roof ! arrgghh ....

[wolf63]

Are they big enough to snack on PP's dog?

[hc4361]

There is a huge heronry not far from me but I've never seen a heron nesting on a roof.

[sandyRoe]

It would depend on the size of PPs dog, I suppose. The bird was dove grey and looked about the size of a Wood Pigeon only with much longer lags and a pointed beak. .

Sandy "a heron just flew low over the garden" sounds like the kind of thing a spy would say in an encrypted message about an ominous event!

[sandyRoe]

I think Cranes nest on chimneys in northern Spain.

[hc4361]

Storks will nest of rooves. (Roofs?)

[sandyRoe]

Grasscarp, have you been watching the reruns of Smileys People on one of the satellite channels?

[grasscarp]

No I havent. But I know a coded message when I see one!

[sandyRoe]

I caught a bit of it the other night. Brought it all back, Cambridge Circus, Karla, Smiley's adulterous wife, Ann. Funny how a TV programme from years ago stays in the memory.
