The Heron and the Slugs

 In today's post, we will be showcasing a grey heron and a couple of slugs. But first, let's have a look at what else I have seen this week. 

Mallard Ducks

Here is a family of young ducks all huddled together.

Magpie and Pigeon

The next bird is a magpie. After that, we have a woodpigeon.



Slugs

As I mentioned earlier on, the next lot of photos will be of slugs.

Finally, the grey heron. It was actually the first thing I saw when I arrived at the lake. 




Next, a video. 


That's all for now. Stay tuned to find out what we'll see next. Thanks for reading!

Pigeon Nesting in my Garden!
