Grey Heron

[Seamus]

I found a grey heron today. I haven't photographed one before. Unfortunately it hadn't read harry's thread about light and was backlit.

We call them Great Blue Herons in the States. Excellent shot too. He probably did read my thread. I told you that birds are evil creatures. After eating and procreation comes making life miserable for photographers on their daily to-do list. :D

Very nice shot......of a beautiful bird. Nice job. Becareful...these birds are EVIL. :wxwax They can take an eye out with that "pecker" of theirs.

Great shot Shay - excellent lighting :thumb.

Just one word of caution though, be careful not to cut his feet off - even though you can't see them.

If I ever get close enough I will heed your advice Mike:thumb , I used a 400 5.6 and it wasn't long enough.
