Description
I am not a bird photographer, but this one kept still enough for long enough for me to gather the furkid leads into one hand and rest Tizzy on the fence on full zoom.
So I am pleased in the circumstances with what is after all a record shot. Coy Pond Bournemouth

Excellent shot Andrea - love it.
You did amazing Andrea, super capture!!
Superb capture Andrea. You do capture about everything on camera. God bless.
Superb capture
cool shot; birds-photography is very difficult for me too
WOW! Well discovered and captured, Andrea.
Beautiful shot and bird!
Congratulations on managing all that at one time! I do think Denise will like this one. :D (I do too, of course, but I'll never see another heron in my life without thinking of Denise.)
Fantastic shot! :)
Whats happening with his hidden leg, a good old ear scratch? Well done! its not easy on full zoom anytime to get bird shots.
wow--he was SO accommodating--what a great shot!!
Startling composition, focus, contrast, and texture in this sterling pic, shot from afar. From heron out you're to be considered a master avian fotographer, Andrea.
I know that Denise will love this shot as well. Know her luck with getting a shot of the blasted bird....LOL Wonderful capture in spite of all your handicaps at the time
That's a pretty close shot for 46mm...you must be very sneaky!
this is wonderful to see. They do fly away most the time. must been after some food that is close by not to fly.
They never get this close to me. Lucky you, this is beautiful!
Really superb. Outstanding effort. He looks like he's waiting for a bus.
A straight-on shot standing on one leg is not very common, and I am kind of imagining you on one leg, camera on the fence at full zoom, using the other leg to control half a dozen dogs on leashes, all wanting to go in different directions...and you are apologizing for the shot? I think next time you should do it with a monopod and leashes in both hands, and in high heels!
wow Andrea, look like he is posing only for you! perfect done, beautiful heron! 5+ ;)
Lovely and great
Nice shot of this pretty bird girl.
Great shot they are such handsome birds.
And a fantastic capture. They are magnificent birds and you did this Heron justice especially with the 'furkids' pulling you along! The thought of the dogs, leads, Tizzy, the fence and this great results made me laugh!!!! :)
Fantastic shot!
I missed some good posts for 2013, this Heron is a fine capture, amazing bird... they can spot a fish like lightning. In past summers here I have spotted them along the river.
