Hi
That is great work, to get in that close and not have the Heron take flight.

Terrific colors on the feathers. Very well done :toast:
!20mm is about as close as you can get to one of these wary birds. :toast:

Wonderful feather details and color in this photo Roger, nice tail flip from the fish too. Amazing you were so close, I can't seem to get within 100 yards of these guys around here.
