As others have pointed out, the scenery is wonderful - I'm not always one for a lot of descriptive prose, but when it works for me, it really works, and I loved this. The heron has me very intrigued. I do love a good mysterious omen.
The humor along the way (eg, "dhé, how these vegetables prick!") was great, as was Lachlan taking the heron very seriously and Ewen... not so much. The fond exasperation is wonderful.
