I think it's incredible that you got so close to those birds. From my experience they would spot me from far away and fly out before i could get close enough for my 70-300.

Nice shots, definitely not in my reach, I am a little bit clumsy and noisy...

Great shots! There are several Blue Herons that hang out near our lake place but I've never gotten that close to them.

TimesShadow · 11-22-2014, 07:59 PM

blue herons are beautiful. What area were you at?

AussieTrev · 11-23-2014, 12:52 AM

Good to see the 60-250 working great. Love the one strutting out. The second one.

I know we did not get much beach time and the lasses are generally not out that early.

I have a feeling that one day you may live there Dave, maybe a reason for the trip? Oh btw, I was thinking ladies on the beach.

Good work. Are they cropped at all or were you able to get really close?

Thanks Mr, Bassie yes they are all cropped at most around 50%
