Yes - thats a heron, centre frame. Taken on the Glamorgan Canal at Forest Farm nature reserve.

Signs of the industrial past saturate the landscape- but one needs  the eye of an industrial archaeologist to render them visible.

Find of the day - Gelynis Farm was built in 1574 for the master of the Pentyrch Iron Foundry.

The vineyard at Gelynis Farm is said to include cuttings from the former Castell Coch vineyard nearby, planted by landowner-industrialist the Marquis of Bute in 1875 ( - a noteworthy experiment in the annals of British viticulture )
