That long neck comes in handy

The heron didn’t do anything while we were there, just sit and watch, although I did catch him sleeping at one point in time.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

A stellar composition with terrific framing, clarity and lighting. The low angle of capture was an excellent choice. An outstanding capture Tim!!! VVV

This heron is probably used to seeing people, otherwise it would have flown away, for it is a wary bird. Excellent capture. V
