This gray heron was standing on one of the piers at Lower Lake Rudan (Nedre Rudasjön), minding it's own business when I arrived to the nature reserve a while back. It didn't seem to bothered as I closed in, but when I came a little too close it stepped off the pier and into the lake so that I would get a good photo of it. Which was nice.
You did a great job again Stefan. It is always a pleasure to visit your blog. ;-)

The close up shot is superb
ReplyDeleteI wish the cranes we see here had the same idea. Ours stay well away.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures! We get the blue and some green herons here, but not this kind.
ReplyDeleteSer man på, fågelfotograf nu för tiden. Bra bilder på hägern. Som av en slump såg jag två stycken flaxa förbi köksfönstret hemmavid i morse när döttrarna och jag satt och käka frukost. Din fågeliakttagelse känns dock närmre och bättre på alla sätt. Bra!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots, Steffe!
ReplyDeleteWow! Super sharp shot of this obliging fellow Steffe, nice work!
ReplyDeleteThat heron head is very good.
