Here are herons
Stiff and straight
Above the dark lake
Nine or ten lone beaks
Scan the sky
Atop the trees
Thin grey sentries
Straddle messy nests
Intimidating
Firm of purpose
Poised for a spring
Not quite round the corner.
Being not quite sure of the name for a heron rookery, find in wikipedia that Heronry is ok.
The illustrated example there is of a heronry in Stanley Park, Vancouver, Canada
The one to which I refer is in Stanley Park, Blackpool, U.K.
