The metal Heron where she has stood for 16 years now.

The view on up there with her.

High above Brixton sits Maggi Hambling's amazing giant metal Heron (2010). We always love sculptors who provide their Heron with a fish dinner.

(though at times like in 2019 when we took this photo, the fish was missing) #HeronArt

Ah yes thankyou for reminding me about that one. I've done a few posts on that few years ago but not recently. It's by Maggi Hambling who has done much Heron work. It's bigger than you realise! jtpeggandsons.co.uk/news/news-1/

Heroneers know instinctively how lucky they are to live close to Herons. It's not just a superstition. #HeroneerTipOfTheDay

We always say it is noticing&appreciation that counts... Deep dive is not essential 😊

Here's a live one bsky.app/profile/ichu.... The singular white plume is the giveaway.

Flabbergast is the correct response to Heronkind. 💙

Hey Hugo Heron. How you doing? Good fishing?

Hey Lippi! How you doing?

@adamlittle.bsky.social fun with geese ⬆️

Frog dinner with beautiful lily reflection in the background lovely contrast!

Herons let the world rush past 💦

(oh, and make your week!)

A good week!

You can always rely on Heronkind

Well away from those who dare try eat the eggs!

You're amongst Heroneer friends here!

Looks like a Black Crowned Night Heron, but in blue.

A Heron makes your day. Wonderful moment

Bald Eagles cause Heron parents much stress. The Eagles could eat your chicks, but also they'll protect the area from other threats to those chicks.

It's called Commensalism. And it's a balancing act!

Range map of the Black Crowned Night Heron all around the world!

Yes you do ... Black Crowned Night Heron are the most cosmopolitan of the Herons!

They are v v v rare in UK, and only here if get lost

We hope so!

Well isn't that the smartest cane. Heron bring a little bit of class everywhere they appear.

A Great Blue Heron takes flight. It's wings are concave as it is lifting into flight.

I saw a nice Great Blue Heron yesterday. I kept clicking as he departed and got a shot where the wings are perfectly concave. Fun, fun click to get!
