| Heron Landing on The Grand Canal, Dublin |
Yes, Charles Bronson survived the massacre! A couple of days ago
I saw his gnarled form swimming with his younger, orange-ier friends. What a
relief.
Unfortunately the level of water continues its slow descent.
The last time I posted on this I was wondering how a heron (the most likely
culprit) could pierce the strong butyl liner with its beak, but my friend, Carole,
made the point that herons have sharp claws, which I hadn’t considered.
Btw, have you seen the size of a heron's foot? Monster claws. Wouldn't discount an errant talon poking a hole in the pond liner.
And as evidence she supplied these amazing photographs:
Carole lives in a lovely part of Dublin near The Grand Canal
(think Didsbury with an Edinburgh twist), where she befriends ducks, rescues
swans, and eyeballs herons.
