Even with the poor light I was able to get a few half-way decent ones.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    A guy could go off you, you know - the heron is my nemisis, I get close / set up the shot and . . . . . they turn their back to me and fly off in the other direction.

    One day she will be mine [sigh]

    Really nice set.

    One of the best GBH shots of it landing that I have seen. The red bellied picture is great as well showing its little home. Nice job handling the white on that great egret.

    Wait for them to come to you. Set up by a nest or feeding spot...they always return to each.
