Taken a couple of evenings ago. My favourite roost site and I was lucky to get a bird and the fresh green leaves lit by the last of the evening sun.

brilliant setting, light and pose, think i would have liked the heron a bit higher in the frame though

There's a great feel to this shot . The tree makes it I reckon too.

I like the composition on this and the lighting, the only slight distraction for me is the branch in front not a lot you can do about that though.

Nick,
