For the last few weeks I have been watching Herons on a local lake. There are four or five of them and they all have different characters. They are huge solitary birds who spend a vast amount of time sitting and watching, just watching. Then every now and again they silently reach out and delicately eat a snack.
Like the slightly unusual child in the school playground they get poked, harassed and bullied by the gulls and crows who appear to think it’s fun to get a reaction.
This Mind Map records the words I have been using to describe these amazing birds.
