Description
I dedicate this to Kipweb as he offered me advice about a Sigma telephoto lens and this is one of many captures already.I never got a good shot of a large bird and without the lens, I would still not have one. I am not using a tripod or monopod, but I did brace myself against a bridge railing.
thanks so much for your many comments and visits

That is great!
Very nice framing and DOF. Great shot with the new lens.
Wow Richard. That is a marvelous capture. What a beautiful bird and great photograph. I love it.
Outstanding work! With that tele and no tripod, you must have a real good hand ;-)
Wow Richard-this is awesome. It is not easy to capture something like this with such a steady hand! Great shot!

A superb and Awesome shot of a splendid bird !!!
Good to see you joining the birders here.. Nice close up so the Bigma has done well.. A faster shutter speed may help as this large bird on the small branch will have been moving..
Great balancing act Richard, he looks like he has just spotted you, so double lucky to get this fine shot ! Well done & ~Cheers~ :o)

Green herons are hard to see. They are not all that big and roost in trees. I saw my first one at Sargeant's Park.
Superb detail.Beautiful animal.

Excellent capture! From what I know of the herrings we have here, a difficult bird to get close to so I have never seen one in such detail before. :O)
