The Firepool Heron
I assume there's only the one bird, rather than a heronry, because I've never seen more than one. Although I do keep seeing one. It apparently lives on or near Firepool Weir (below), which is more or less in the centre of Taunton

Boght this belt from Ian Standring, an itinerant hippy leather worker who lived in a concerted bread van, in 1975 or so. Finally given up the ghost after 40 years of securing trousers.
