Being a bit of a bird enthusiast, I've been observing a great blue heron that lives in the marshes opposite Vanish at the marina. He is often seen standing on a stake, hence Maynard named him Stakey. One morning he landed on the stake at 8 a.m. and did not move until sunset but where he went was a mystery. He stood in the hot sun without eating or drinking all day. He often hangs out with the Gang of Fluff in a dead tree; an osprey, a couple of pelicans, a white form of a blue heron and a bunch of red-winged blackbirds. This scenario happens almost every day with the same birds doing the same things. One day I asked our neighbours on Black Pearl if they'd noticed Stakey. "Oh yes, that's George. He just LOVES your boat!" What do you mean? "Well, we just love watching him when he stands on your pulpit when you return to Australia on holiday every year. What! Sure enough, I waited until dark, crept up to the bow and there was George Stakey happily sound asleep dreaming and pooping to his heart's content. Not good.
