My friend the heron

I now know that the heron regularly fishes at a certain point on the edge of the lake at Priory Country Park. I actually got a shot of him flying over to settle there. I stood and watched him fish and he was very successful today! Have a look at my other albums for pics of him with his supper

Can you get him to make friends with the herons who eat my fish and take them with him!
You have got a great shot of him - how far away were you?

Cracking shot of a Heron, very good detail and colour.

@andrewrome365 I was about 15ft away. It seems as though he's not bothered about me watching him and standing there pointing the black thing at him that's my camera.

[Jan Hall]

Well done getting such a good close-up of a heron. I find that they are so shy and their eyesight so good they always fly off before I can lift my camera to my eye - fav!

[Rosie Kind]

@jantan Thanks Jan especially for the fav

[Mike]

Embarrassed to say I missed it here... but saw it on PP so got there eventually. Well done for such great sharpness...makes my recent efforts look dreadful!

[Rosie Kind]
