Autumnal heron

About this memory
This might look like some remote location, but it’s actually Lochend Park. I love that there’s a little patch of wilderness in the middle of the city, right next to Easter Road stadium. It’s also home to many different bird species – including the herons, who are particularly good at posing for photos.
Herons as patient models
