Sometimes we worry about putting a spider outside...but at other times, as one Islander found this week, the problem can be a little bigger.
There is definitely no glass large enough to put over a three feet tall heron!
- Scroll down for video!
A Ryde resident was shocked to discover the huge bird in her kitchen.
She described the moment as being like having "a dinosaur" in her home.
She managed to capture the moment on her camera and shared the video with the Isle of Wight County Press, as the bird dropped in for a visit from a nearby pond.
Keeping calm, she gently ushered it out the door and spoke to the heron, saying: "Hey, could you leave please?
"Out you go! You can do it!"
We think she deserves an award for her measured response!
