This is his swamp and he will go where he wants.
I had to move to give him space, and get far enough away so I could focus.
My theory is herons who act this way here most likely were hatched in this rookery. Photographers are common here during breeding season so it’s nothing to them to see ‘people with one big eye’ (camera lens) walk by.
Elegant bird and photo!
There are plenty of them around now, thanks.
Very nice in the B&W!
😁 thanks.
