Herons at Home


While I was away at Chelsea, the heron colony at the end of the road was apparently scared off by a rogue eagle the local media dubbed 'Birdzilla'. There are fears that the colony might be gone for good.

Funny enough, I was having lunch with the folks at Butchart Gardens, who had also been at Chelsea for the first time. One of them was saying that the herons had taken up residence in her back garden. I do hope they aren't gone for good from the park!

A little more Chelsea. Here's a lovely seating area from one of my favorite show gardens, the Westland Garden, designed by Diarmuid Gavin. It won a silver.
