You don't wanna waste time standing in water... May as well grab a snack while you're there.

Rescuing newts! This one had fallen in the water and we were returning it. Honest!

Exactly!

Rubber band planes all of them

😅 💙 Very good!

So fascinating to see them so closely stood together and aligned. 🖤🤍

Oh well done Heroneer Helen! That's a wonderful little scene. 💙

Am convinced that a few hundred years ago most Grey Herons were hatched and raised this way, safe out in the marshes.

Belcarra coat of arms

The jackdaw, perched on the shield, reminds us that we share our world with many living creatures. In Belcarra village we are proud to have a historic rookery where several hundred rooks and jackdaws spend the night. The village Motto "Ar scáth a cheile" is an abbreviated rendering of "Ar scáth a cheile a mhaireann na daoine" - a well known Irish proverb which stresses neighbourliness, and reminds us that we all depend on one another

Perhaps one day it will stand alongside the jackdaw on the coat of arms, included tlto acknowledge the many living things we share our world with, depend upon. 💙🌍 3/3

In May 2024 a Yellow-crowned Night Heron was discovered in western Ireland village of Belcarra, 1000s of stormy transatlantic 🌊 miles from its American home.

Named Lorrie in honour of its local discoverer, Lorraine Ryan-Jennings, it inspired tourists, art and poetry 1/3 🧵

Wonderful. 💙💙 We know a poem about that Heron bsky.app/profile/scyf... @scyflynn.bsky.social

Creeping and Stabbing.

When a rock becomes an extension to your Beakspear... 😏

Fabulous. Though at first I thought the beak got all the way to here 😏

I'm guessing some sort of Heron dimension in which portrait transforms through some complex geometry to landscape

@cam-shelley.bsky.social ...Your mission... If you wish to take it. ⬆️

How lovely those scenes. Can almost feel the air. Thankyou.

Nice tonic to central London where am right now! 💙

Ooo thank you. New one for our list!

Those cubby holes contain snacks for the Heron 😋😉

Lovely.

Jealous? Every? Yes!

I thought I completely ruined it at one point, but I managed to fix it somehow. I love the color blue, so I might have used it too much.

I don't really know how the tags work, oops.

It's a lovely angle. Full of character. 💙

Grey Heron reach peak Good Looks at the moment they mate. As the chicks are born, and the hard work of filling them up with Fish Gloop starts, looks take a backseat.

The sun, backlighting through the Beakspears is lovely

They always seem very busy!

Time watching Herons is never wrong! 💙

What time is it?
