He was in our local boating lake surrounded by children in rowing boats. He even flew onto the shore amongst the geese being fed bread. Definitely tamer than most herons.

That is good, so clear and sharp I can almost count the feathers. :) And yes it does sound very tame!


That was a great meal ~ you must have a good set of pans :p
