Heron in Flight
1D2n, 600mm f4 is, 1/3200s, f4, iso 400. Early morning sunshine just after full moon had set, cloudless sky.

Taken last weekend on one of the clearest mornings I can recall - certainly unusual to get that SS in Scotland! (should really have changed iso). I would have preferred a cleaner background, but it's the closest I've got to a heron, so I'm happy enough (til next time!)

Nicely done Ian, the detail in the larger version is very good, imo this is a good capture of a difficult species.

I agree with Andy the larger version is a cracker. The light enhances the subject well.

Hi Ian,

Lovely detail in the larger image.
