OK
, he continued grudgingly, it does at least remind me that spring is just around the corner after the third stop light in the next town but one.

My New Year's resolution: I shall try to be more cheerful from heron. :groan:

I tried to slowly open the door to get closer but failed! If I had caught a picture of the bird taking off from the tree that would have been really impressive, he was about 1.5m across!

And don't worry about the shed Chris, the honeysuckle hides it!

Regards

Graeme

You have a HUGE garden if you were able to snap that image with your telescope gear.
How far away was it in kilometers? :grin:

All depends on which side of the telescope you're looking into. :grin:

It is a nice photo.

It's difficult to see the colour of the bird.

But that's probably a good thing.

If it was a red heron, the thread would go way off topic.

It looks to me like it's on the top of the garden. :grin:

Speaking of the top of the garden, Kim, we should all be looking at the Big Picture.
Especially the top-left corner.
What, I want to know is, is that Nevada-desert Yuca-look-alike doing in up-town Surbiton?
I suspect that the reason the sheet-metal-working project of Graeme's son is tied by the ankles to the shrubbery is to make it look as if it is a real bird trying to relocate itself to the River Wandle.

Ferget about the heron, I'm more interested in knowing if Graeme is the one behind all the mysterious Space Odyssey monoliths appearing around the world...
