The first green heron arrived at the reserve last June and was joined by several others during the course of the summer, so we had many opportunities to photograph these beautiful birds. They seem to be solitary birds and we never saw them paired up at the lake. We’ve yet to see a nest. I enjoy watching the movements of the green and all the other herons as they transform their appearance when they strut, stalk and fish.

Saw these for the first time last summer in Barbados. Never quite got shots like these particularly the last one that’s a beauty.

Great shots that really show off this Heron’s moves. I’ve only seen them singly here, too. I especially like the last photo, stretching for the water with a great reflection.

They look small compared to Herons in New Zealand, beautiful photographs and tack sharp.
