I watched this Heron land nearby but for the most part it was nothing more than a shadow. The area was all tall reeds which hid him from any clear photographs.
At one point he did stick his head up over the reeds, looking around. I was able to catch a head shot, well 3 head shots.
I moved on and left him to hunt. He came from the rookery, so there was a good chance I’d see him a little later. I did.
Handsome bird, nice shots!
Thank you. In a spot I didn’t expect to see one land. If I hadn’t seen his shadow I would have walked right by.
