Heron Photos

I spotted this heron by chance whilst out for a walk and It was kind enough to stand there and let me photograph it. This is a collection of the best shots from that occasion.

This photo was a surprise success! I’d set my camera to rapid shoot, just kept taking pictures, and one just happened to come out nicely.
