These herons usually remain until the lakes begins to freeze, so with a bit of luck we’ll have a few more sightings before then. I didn’t see the heron right away. I was focussed on a goose in the water and panned around to see if there were any other birds about when I spotted the heron standing absolutely motionless. At that distance I would have missed him if hadn’t been for the goose!

(S)he was hoping you didn’t see it! 😉 I can see why the GBH blended in quite well, the water is beautifully patterned to help its disguise! Nice find and gorgeous capture, Belinda!

It is amazing how well camouflaged these big birds can be, particularly this time of year. Thanks so much Donna!
