Grey Heron in Flight

Grey Heron in Flight
I was sitting on a bench adjacent to the Mill Pond at Langstone Harbour, camera in hand, watching the world go by, when I noticed some children pointing upwards the sky above my head.

Looking up I saw this Grey Heron and just had time to swing the camera upwards and back to grab this shot. I was quite pleased with it given the circumstances.

Perfect! When I see this kind of shot I don’t have the camera. A beautiful shot.

I need to take a picture today of some beautiful tulips I planted last year. They are tall but small and lovely pink and white

An excellent shop Keith! I love your framing with the beautiful shapes of the bare branches as well. Good to think that the children saw it, and lucky for you :-)) The look of herons still amazes me!

Vögel im Flug sind eine große Herausforderung für Fotografen. Auch ich versuche es ständig besser zu machen. Und manchmal wird man belohnt.

Very true. I definitely delete more photos than I keep!

Keep practicing Wilhelm :-)
