Drat !!! Forgot Me Deodrant This Morning !!

            Yup , it looks like that with this heron's head under a limb and out on a limb here . Not the biggest pond on Bookham Common but an interesting on with this old  gnarly twisted tree here . I have seen heron on this tree limb a number of times before , they do not seem to be after fish here as they spend nearly all the time preening their feathers . The colour shots taken from one side of the pond to the other are often a bit iffy with the light making you shoot into  the sun hence the mono conversion . No chance of a shot but while watching the heron here all of a sudden there was a plop followed very quickly by what looked like a blue something dashing back into the trees behind the heron - guess I missed another kingfisher !!
