Wink Wild Beauties - Fishing Heron

--------------------

Hi, everyone!

Sorry that yesterday, there was an interruption on the sharing of this "Wild Beauties" set. I was very busy.

Today's set is about a very active fishing heron. His endeavor to have his midday meal was so fascinating.


Fishing Dance

Yes!!! Got It!

Gotcha!!!

Successful Heron

Fantastic set of shots Drax. How long did you have to sit and watch to get these?

Drax - I love wading birds in general and herons in particular. These are really nice shots. Great color and details.

Watching herons fish, and seeing the food chain in action, is something I always enjoy seeing. Thanks for posting!

Hi, and thanks a lot.

It actually took me some 90 minutes and 48 shots to get this set and those in my Flickr Photostream.

The hardest part was to stay still on a hot rock. And the shutter's noise seemed too loud then. LOL!!!!!

Thank you, guys!

Do not forget that these praises come back to you also. For, without you here at DPS, i don't think i could be able, at this, time to make photos that will please you.

Once again, thanks a ton!!!!
