I just had to stop when I saw this on a piece of land next to our house.
This guy sat on a heap of weeds that the farmer cleared from the land.
I think that they are clearing the land so that they can plant just before the new Spring season that will start in September. We have many farms in the surrounding area and also several plots of land in the town. Some even have the original houses on the plots and they were declared as heritage houses. So no alterations may be done to the historic houses and one gets transferred to the days of old whenever one looks at the old majestic building style of the old houses.
The heron also seems to like it:)
It is Black-headed Heron (Ardea melanocephala) and so great to see one right here in the town.
So I decided to walk with him while my wife waited in the car.
Now I wonder what the heron said to this Guinea fowl couple as he passed ?
Maybe the entrants in the @featheredfriends contest by @wrestlingdesires could tell us ?
On his way and I knew that he was going to take off, but he went behind a tree.
He did circle over however and they are very neat flyers.

Like I said, I have never seen a heron in town, and it was a delight to take a walk with this one. The great thing is, that we often drive past this plot of land on our way down to the ocean, and I saw him again today.
But I didn't stop to take photos of him, as I have many herons in my files.
It is great to live so near nature and to see all of its wonders.
We also have the benefit of the ocean close by, so I basically live between two wonderworlds. Nature and the mountains close by, and the ocean on the other side. Both within very easy reach.
I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
And That's All Friends.
