| Comments : | KNOCK LAKE . . . It lifted off with another Heron @7-15am from around the "Bittern" spot, the moment I crossed the stream from the main entrance, it was very dull with light misty rain, so I thought they were both Grey Herons until I arrived home to view on PC, which then had me thinking because of the overall shape and what colouration I could make out. I also asked AG.Kelly was his bird sighted earlier missing primary feathers from left-wing, which he confirmed. |
