Heron and Little Egret Stand-Off!

Whilst at Manton Bay (Rutland Water), we watched a Grey Heron move a Little Egret out of its territory.  have a look at the photo sequence of events.

“I’m just not even gonna look at you!”

I“If I flap my wings about a bit maybe he’ll get the idea!”

“Ok, ok, I’m going!”

“This’ll do at least they look a bit more friendly!”

“Ooooo, heck, obviously not far enough!  I’m off!”

“Finally !  He gets the idea!”
