Every day she appears on the roof outside our kitchen window at 6 o'clock. Every day she sits quietly for half an hour, watching me, undisturbed by the commotion in the kitchen (see previous post), and then she disappears again. Six days in a row now. Ever since we came back from Russia. The only explanation I can come up with is that Marc's brother got confused and thought we had asked him to feed the heron for a week, rather than the cats (incidentally that would explain why a) the cats were so happy to see us and b) they seem to have lost weight).
So, if anybody knows anything about the habits of herons that might elucidate this mystery, please tell me.

It is a widely known fact that herons are attracted to shiny objects (like knives glinting in a ray of sunhine), fish (like tuna), and friendly-looking people (like you). Or maybe she is the reincarnation of somebody you know who always wanted to be invited to dinner at your house but never dared to say it in life.
Goodnight, funny face.
