| Buck Beck - a happy hunting ground for this hungry heron |
AN unusually tame heron has been a recent feature on the banks of the Buck Beck in Cleethorpes.
Normally a wary species, quick to take flight, this bird has been almost oblivious to passers-by - even those walking one or more dogs.
Most songbirds are in decline in the Grimsby and Cleethorpes area, but many waterside birds are faring well.
Herons are often to be found along watercourses and sometimes on or near the tideline on Cleethorpes Beach or even in the middle of far fields.
Also flourishing l locally are little egrets which, until 15 years ago, were relative rarities in North East Lincolnshire .
