Well I'm not Bill Dodsworth.... by judithg

Well I'm not Bill Dodsworth....

But I do like a bicycle in my pics and it's not often I get one with a heron. They don't usually venture this far down the river but it was catching loads of fish by the boathouses. It flew off under the bridge and I could have had a corking shot if the excitement and dog on lead hadn't got the better of holding the camera steady!

PS I hope @bill_d doesn't mind having his name in my title!
An urban heron? ;) cool composition with the bike and the hint of red door.

@araminta @peggysirk @islawight @melissachi @eleanorrigby @amazingved @flamez @remcogreutink Sorry to do a group reply but thanks so much for your feedback on this (and the Fave!) I wasn't sure if it was too busy - so nice to get so many positive comments on Mr Heron - I'll be less happy if he starts on my goldfish....

@bill_d Thanks Bill - of course it doesn't stand up to the close scrutiny that your amazing pics do but he did pose long enough for me to get something vaguely in focus!
