Will his (assuming his sex, here) surname be Heron, or are you going for the one name option?

Was the latin Ardeidae NanKate? How about Arran or Archie.

I love viewing outdoor sculpture exhibitions and have often wanted a sculpture of my own but they are very silly prices we can’t afford.

On Saturday we visited a NT House and Gardens which had a fabulous display of outdoor sculptures in a variety of mediums such as metal, wood, stone etc. I was particularly taken with a stainless steel heron. DH saw me looking at this exhibit and just said ‘shall we buy it’ ?. I didn’t need much persuading and I spoke to the sculptor today and when the Exhibition ends it will be delivered to us.

The heron will take pride of place in our small walled back garden where I can see him everyday from my office.

He’s definitely male and I want to name him. I’ve looked up the Latin name for heron and don’t like that. Any suggestions for our new acquisition?
