Flaps out! Gear down!

This Heron was struggling to land in the tree due to the high winds. It didn't give up though and eventually made it on it's third attempt.

Unusual shot of a heron, powerful wings, it does look determined!

It is hard to see just where it would land in amongst those spindly looking branches. Must have been a struggle. I felt the wind cycling today, so can understand its plight. Love how you have caught the unusual posture and the spread of the feathers on the near wing
