Original artwork description:

It's day nine of #birbfest2024 and today's feathered wonder is the bane of goldfish, the grey heron.

When one of these enormous birds would silently slip into our garden when I was a child, everything would stop. It was as if a dinosaur had appeared, we would all watch mouths agape as it stalked on long scaley legs around the pond. Then, just as quietly as it arrived it would vanish, spooked by some movement seen out of the corner of it's yellow eye.

C'est le neuvième jour de #birbfest2024 et la merveille à plumes d'aujourd'hui est le fléau des poissons rouges, le héron cendré.

Lorsque l'un de ces énormes oiseaux se glissait silencieusement dans notre jardin lorsque j'étais enfant, tout s'arrêtait. C'était comme si un dinosaure était apparu. Nous le regardions tous, bouche bée, marcher sur ses longues pattes écailleuses autour de l'étang. Puis, tout aussi silencieusement qu'il était arrivé, il disparaissait, effrayé par un mouvement aperçu du coin de son œil jaune.
