Heron On The Water Of Leith 03 - a photo on Flickriver

            I was taking a walk along the Water of Leith at the weekend, and came across a heron, perched by the small weir, just below the National Gallery of Modern Art.

Most of the time when I've spotted herons, they tend to stand fairly still, just watching, but this one started walking, with that peculiar gait of theirs, so I kept snapping away, and also managed to grab a couple of brief videos.

It's astonishing to think all of this "countryside" walk is running through the middle of the city.
