New year New friend Day made.

Just woken up Not really sorted out yet.

A poem about the heron that surprised us as we walked across the bridge. Or is it? There may be other thoughts behind this one. We've often seen herons but rarely heard that strange call. #PoemsAbout #Static @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Crow and Heron, or Young Lovers Walking Together under an Umbrella in a Snowstorm. Harunobu. 1/2 🧵

They won't ever let it go, the Crows. This has gone on for 1000s of years. Just because a ancestral Heron once said something rude about them looking and sounding like Goth pigeons.

The many expressions of Hank Heron. Great Blue Heron. Peace! #birds #birding #heronsofbluesky #birdwatching #peace #smile #hunters

The self questioning is brief Then it will recall it is Heron And gird its feathery loins And keep on Heroning on

When it rains Grey Heron Just wrap their cloak about themselves And sit it out Pondering the rain away

Got a Fish or Crawfish you need catching? Weedy sticks you need shifting? Send for the Herons!

When it rains Grey Heron Just wrap their cloak about themselves And sit it out Pondering the rain away

Always keep the sharp Beakspear safely covered in gift giving scenarios. Great tip! #HeroneerTipOfTheDay

What looks like snow on this thoughtful beauty is "powder down" feathers. Special feathers that break into a dust similar to talcum powder. This powder is used by the Heron to clean its feathers of grime, gloop and the remains of its dinner.

General neck content, for all who want it.

The Classic.... Stripes lengthways along the long sinuous neck and a Beakspear that seems to start in the toes and go on forever.

Great Blue Heron, Baja California Sur, Mexico I want to introduce my friend— Ardea herodias, the Great Blue Heron. He's a seasonal visitor to the beach that I walk daily north of Loreto. When I first met this one, he was shy and flew away as I got close.

Heron hold no fear of the big landscape. They know they'll always catch the Heroneer's eye.

.Beautiful wing beats... And bonus Banana toes 🍌🍌🍌 in slow motion

When you don't go to the Heron Then the Heron may come to you (If you're very very lucky)

Beautiful light this morning on the Thames in Hammersmith @everyheron.bsky.social Heron was on duty fishing

When your fishing spot ices over You gotta just patiently wait it out Standing on it makes sure you're first in the queue When the ice melts! 🧊💦🐟

Our resident Heron hunting shrimp in the foggy wetlands of the backyard this morning. Glorious

We Flock Alone.

Letting a Heron know all you saw was Statue gives them a huge confidence boost. The ultimate compliment.

When your dinner Lives by your feet And your Beakspear Lives on the front of your face Your eyes must look Both forward and down

Great to get the warmth on your body. Can help with staying clean & healthy feathers... The heat draws to the surface the feather mites 🪲 where they can be more easily beakspeared off 🥢 Also you can stay in touch with your distance relatives in the Great Heron Galaxy in the sky. Beep beepple beep 📡

@everyheron.bsky.social which I assume means looking effortlessly awesome.

We're listening. To you. To the world. And for fish.

Heron are innately curious It's always worth checking You never know what frog or food you may find 🍽️

I’ve even got the t shirt.

The giant Silver Heron on the Isle of Man is probably the tallest in the world, and when installed in 2024 immediately became our favourite. We love its classic Toes Over the Edge stance. #HeronArt *correction*

Heron Stories are out there, waiting to be discovered by any Heroneer ...

We call this... Herondipity - the faculty or phenomenon of finding heron moments not sought for.

Somedays you just want to tuck your head back under your duvet feathers... ... And leave your headplume to face the day. #HeroneerTipOfTheDay

London Grey Herons are the earliest to nest, some laying before Christmas! There maybe tiny chicks protected by the female here. It's a calculated risk... the longer chicks have to grow & learn the more chance they'll survive winter 26/27. But must first survive the current cold 🧊 #LondonBirds 🪶
