Heron have catholic taste and will eat eels (which can crawl through wet grass) and amphibians, plus potentially small mammals and baby birds

and Herons are so patient too! I have run along a river and seen one standing "heron still" in the shallows only to pass it again twenty minutes later on my return and it can still be standing there waiting for a catch!

Great Great White Egret bonners; never seen one myself. Even better to have seen one while out on your run.
Saw the small Starling murmuration yesterday at a regular place (c 2,000). A handful of Shoveller and Wigeon as well as the usual Tufties, Coot, Pochard, Moorhen etc as dusk fell.

10 black birds on the rowan tree in the garden at one point this morning.

One of the joys of working from home.

Second one I've seen Steve, the first one was at RSPB Conwy a couple of months back and I was looking out for it. This one was more exciting as totally unexpected and even better, like you said, on a run!

Winter thrushes for me too including probably the biggest flock of redwing I've ever seen

However my spot of the day was a parakeet over Colne, East Lancashire! :-O
