Well done Danny.

Interesting how lucky you can be by being in the right place, at the right time, with the right equipment and the right experience.

Thanks, Tom, Colin and John. I was in the shelter at Radipole Lake, when a gang of birders saw this heron on the other side of the lake sitting in a tree. They decided to get closer for a better shot, I stayed put and when they put it up it flew my way. Thanks lads I thought! Danny
