They don't like solar power either. I went to see an array of parabolic
trough concentrators (big curved mirrors) in India recently. They had
been regularly attacked and broken by these feathered vandals.

When I lived in Amsterdam we overlooked the canal, regularly a reiger
( think that's a heron) would leave it's fishing spot and attack it's
image in the baker's shop door glass.

It's a bad idea to overlook canals, if you do you can find yourself
getting wet as you fall into them. It's best to be aware of and remember
the location of all canals.

I'm going back on Tuesday, I'll remember your advice when I step on to the
balcony in the flat, I certainly don't want to fall 40 ft down and across the
street into the canal, might get poisoned.
