The light in this little cove isn’t ideal but that’s where the Green Heron chose to perch. Ducks like this spot too so I always pass by when I’m at this reserve.
Great perch for the birds, just high enough off the water, I’m sure it gets lots of use. Lovely image of the Green Heron, just waiting for a snack to appear.

Green Heron coloring and shades are just darn hard to photograph. Nice capture.

This is a beautiful but skittish heron so it’s great that you were able to capture a good portrait of it, Belinda.

They are so pretty with their multi-coloured feathers but that intense gaze and sharp beak mean serious business! Great capture, Belinda. 😊

When I enlarged the photo, his colours became clear, as did his features. Very nice photo.
