These photographs were shot at strange, and really awkward angle.

The Heron was tucked in a thicket, hanging over marsh pond.

In order to shoot these I had to do much the same, hang over a marsh pond. Not something I would recommend with a heavy long lens.

I only grabbed a few quick shots, for obvious reasons.

When the Heron finally spotted me I quit. I considered that he could fly, I could fall.

There were other Herons nearby.
