The heron was sat by the Big Lodge

I think he was trying to hide, he flew off heading for his spot on the River

This tiny pond, it's the only name I can call it is near the small lodge, it has a twin just to the right of it, that one is just a bog yet in the past they were both used in the bleaching process, they are linked to the small lodge by a sluice gate, this pond has been cleaned out a few times over the years since it's retirement from bleaching, it is beautifully lined with brick almost a work of art. I think it would have been good to see the workmanship on permanent display.

From a distance it looked like a swan but it was a balloon quite large.
