I have wanted shots of a Heron in this posture for a very long time, so I went home extremely happy.

Grey Heron Ardea cinerea
at Rye house

I spent about two hours photographing
this Heron, it was on one of the manmade Kingfisher nesting banks, it
preened, dozed, stretched and sunned itself until some noisy children
frightened it off. All of these images were shot digitally with a Canon
EOS D30 and a Sigma 800mm F5.6 lens set at 200asa

The animation above is made up from ten images of the Heron shaking, two of the images are reproduced on this page. I was lucky on my way home too as I was able to photograph a stunning Stonechat, click the link below. |
