Okay, it was lovely to see the heron again on my walk today. I wonder if it had decided that the eco-pond, with its shoals of Invasive Predatory Goldfish which people have dumped in it to the detriment of other life (frogs, newts, dragonflies) is a delicious all-you-can-eat buffet.
Assuming it is the same heron and that the first did not just tell a friend.

In more annoying news, today partner had a go at fixing my printer, which has been giving 'Paper Jam in Tray 1' error messages -
- and after doing pretty much the equivalent of open heart surgery on the thing, lo and behold, there was, entirely concealed from view, a page jammed in the works.
I depose that having to eviscerate a printer to discover this is something of a design fault?
Unfortunately, once the printer was put back together, it decided that the gate was open and it was not going to print anything.
Partner is going to have another go at it tomorrow, but I suspect that New Printer is in the future.

Meanwhile, I copied my paper for tomorrow to a memory-stick and took it to partner's computer so that I could print it out there.
This was accomplished successfully.
