HERON 6 seconds of his life

A day of chance ,not the Fish but for me.I do not take my tripod and I can move very quick ,
and I get a camo and for the first time the Heron stays quiet ,in place

Why 6 seconds,it is the maximum time for this action,The motor of my cam can take 9 shoots in its buffer with a maximu speed of 5picts/sec ,I must wait perhaps 2 seconds between each the last shoots.
As often I am at the limits of my engine for the exposure,the focusing is bad only on the splash,I move too quickly to see the action

C'est une superbe série sur un chasseur habile et patient pour qui l'art de la chasse n'a aucun secret.
Ta série est magnifique.
