One from a couple of days ago, bit of hectic fun for a good few hours.

I couldn`t get one landing on nest with the sticks as they were deep in the tree branches, and almost out of sight.

Great shot Brian. That's one heck of a 'twig' for nest building.

Hi Brian. Spot on behavioural shot. Nice to see you didn't go home empty handed.

Really nice shot Brian. Hell of a twig, but then it 's a hell of a nest I expect.

Nice shot Brian,
might be easier for the heron to carry house bricks to build it's nest
