Yes, a Heron, or a Gannet.
There was a very confused and injured one of them on the Pier last week.

Almost wildlife ...

The ponies are back at the Maes y Facrell nature reserve on the Great Orme.  They're usually here for 2-3 months over winter, busily chomping away at the coarse grasses, but there seem to be only four ponies this time (there have been up to seven in the past).  The management seems to be effective in increasing the number of broad leaved plants and the goats, who come and go as they please, do their bit to help control the scrub.

WIth the wild weather of today most of the Great Orme goats were feeding and hanging around the North Shore Toll gate.  I snapped this one standing on the seaward wall.  The first shot with my new phone which I had not yet used.

I did ask him to smile but this is the best he could manage.  They were all billies and were having a great time masticating the copious amounts of the gorse bushes.   Not too interested in the nannies in this weather and probably delighted that they weren't brass monkeys!   _))*

I like the photo, Yorkie.

I spotted this billy goat last week, on his own with about 10 nannies.  Not a good photo but he seemed to have a smile on his face ...
