A Heron comes a calling

This morning my hubby looked out of our bedroom window and was a bit surprised to see a Heron standing on the roof of the house opposite, it then flew down to the end house and landed on the fence, you might be wondering why, well our neighbours have a fish pond in their garden and I think this cheeky Heron was hoping to help himself to some of the goldfish they have in it, but Ive a feeling he left empty handed as most of the ponds around here are frozen up, so I suspect he may have had to fly back down to the River Wye for better pickings.
