The heron is a sculpture I first made many years ago, but which I have now redesigned and updated. It is an elegantly shaped bird, naturally sculptural, and I’m happy with the way my version captures this. I make several sizes but I think the most effective is slightly larger than life, so his imposing presence stands out a little more in your garden. (This might also help intimidate real herons into not trying to steal the fish from your pond… but I offer no guarantee it works!)

Two sizes: life-size (90cm tall) £645; larger (135cm) £865
