"Your name took me back to my teens, "the flight of the heron" was probably the first book I fell in love with, not to mention its hero😀"
Ironically, one of the latest episodes of Outlander, had Claire back in Boston in the early 1950's and one of her students was asking her if she had ever seen a Great Blue Heron, and she replied that she had in Scotland, and they focused in on the picture for a few seconds which than "teleported" (wink) back in time to 1744.  I thought that was quite coincidental (or perhaps it was an allusion to your book?)

Where rest, at length,

They'll wondering ask, how hands so vile,
Could conquer hearts so brave?"

I am rereading "KKB" which I have only read once previous, when I came across this gem on page 8
"With an easing of the political climate in Gwynnedd, and having risen to the episcopate, he (Denis Arilan) secretly had  ordaining other Deryni priests--and there was a second bishop come to his priestly status without Arilan's help"
