349/365v2 The Grey Heron at Alton Water

Mark Seton LRPS CPAGB · 15 December 2014

Another visit to Alton Water in Suffolk. This lunchtime I parked up at the main car park and set off to visit a part of the lake I hadn’t been to before. There’s a large outcrop of land that juts out into the main lake giving a nice view of the reservoir in both directions…it’s also a good spot for Grey Herons (Ardea cinerea) to hide away from prying eyes (or cameras). I spotted this one on the opposite bank and allowed me to photograph him/her for a short while before getting irritated and flying off. 

I carried on walking and came across a kind of cove that had some interesting trees growing and showing off their root structures.
