New species in the garden

Last Saturday I went to fill the feeders up to find my pond had been trashed and all the pond weed had been scattered over the stones surrounding it, This morning a Heron came to the garden landed on my Japanese arch checked the pond out but got spooked by the wife will try and get this on film with the weekend weather looking bad, Not a bad bird to have visiting the garden though.
