Nice one Dennis. How do you manage to get so close without the heron flying off.

Thank you for the feedback Debra. I borrowed some thinking from a biologist / naturalist named Konrad Lorenz (Konrad Lorenz, Austrian zoologist, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1973 (1903–1989). He wrote a book called King Solomon's Ring many years ago about 'Intentionality' in the animal kingdom. If you approach a creature wothout any deliberate intent they tend to ignore you. Their survival depends on accurately reading your 'intentions'.
