    Aye Sioux placid and elegant but with a ruthless streak when it comes to feeding, they'll eat anything with a heartbeat as long as it's small enough, and that includes wee chicks and Ducklings.

    Saw quite a few Heron myself tonight. They're dotted all over the place and they seem such solitary birds. Sometimes near each other but never actually that close. They also seem to be different in some way but I suppose that's how you distinguish the old from the young or the *.

    The lapwings are back. They were really quite far down the beach and tend to fly off if they catch sight of you
