Heron
Canon 40D, Sigms 500 4.5. f8, iso 200, 1/250ss. Tripod.

Been trying to get a nice shot of a Heron in the top of a tree for some time now, and today it final happened.

Thanks for looking.

Nice shot, I'm sure your pleased with it, I would be..

I once took three years to get Heron at the nest, mind you the Herons concerned were nesting in the tops of mature Horse Chestnut trees. The colony was finally destroyed by Michael Fishes Hurricane, and has now moved onto my new patch.

Nice one! I find that these disappear long before I get into range.

A fine image Guy.
The contrast between light bird and darker surroundings is particularly appealing here.
