Re: feeding time

Well seen and captured.

I have many heron shots, but I have never actually seen them catch anything.

back in the summer at Slimbridge we saw a heron take a reed warbler but couldnt react quickly enough to get a shot

Re: feeding time

Ah, I was blinkered with regard to the fish.

I have actually got a shot where the heron had raided a nest for young birds.

Re: feeding time

We have a heron that visits our garden fairly frequently because of all the local ponds, but have only ever seen him perched on the top of the fir trees, this is a well caught shot of a fascinating bird.

Re: feeding time

Excuse my ignorance (as I think that there is probably a way of seeing photo data), but was this shot taken with a flash?
