Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Our regular heron
This fellow spends much time hanging around the fish filled water right by the entrance to the New River tunnel. There is no suitable spot to stand or perch within a beak's reach of the fish so I am never likely to witness a catch. He is rarely spooked by passing pedestrians or their dogs and seems to have learned that they are safely on the other side of a stout fence.

I walked within touching distance of him last week - completely unfazed.

Recently re-visiting the new development in the Heartlands to show my brother, I lamented the missing fish in the crescent-shaped lakes. He suggested a heron, and I can only imagine that he's right. The lakes are constantly refreshed with new water from a source near the railway line, down metal chutes, under Mary Neuner Road, into the lakes and then (presumably) into the Moselle.
