Posture

What was that my mother told me years ago about posture and looking small as a consequence?

:) they use it to their advantage quite a bit when hiding.

What bird is it? Pardon my ignorance of ornithology.

OT -- I realised today that the phrase "secret life" appears in another Leonard Cohen song, The Future. I doubt that's appropriate to your book though :) (though it does have one possibly "green" reference -- "take the only tree that's left")

It's a pond heron. Quite common.

I've heard that song. I can't imagine that reference going down too well. :)

Yeah they're quite lovely, and will do all kinds of twisty things with their necks if they are relaxed!
