"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

Wild Bird Wednesday: White-faced Heron
While out at Wivenhoe Dam a few weeks ago, I came across this White-faced Heron.
Great photos - especially the "gotcha" one! Sorry no word on the migrating birds yet - I have had several days off sick and just haven't been out there.
Sorry I haven't been in touch lately Liz! Like you I've had an enormous amount on my plate as of late. I love this Heron and haven't seen them before. We have Heron's here in Canada but not that type. How are things going right now?
sweet snapshots Liz; they're a lovely water-bird
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful heron!!!
ReplyDeleteje hebt de reiger er heel mooi op staan,mooie aktiefoto,s.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz!
ReplyDeleteIn Poland, the heron is a rare bird.
Your photos give me great joy.
They are beautiful.
Have a nice day.

Great shots of the heron. I am so envious of all of you that see them as we don't have them around here.
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful bird! nice you got to see him fishing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - I love water birds - they are so elegant and I love watching them fly - so graceful!! :)
ReplyDeleteGood pictures. What I find amazing is that the Heron stands still and all of a sudden he attacks the fish. What a hunter.

Lovely series of Heron shots - never heard of this bird before - just what I love about the internet.

ReplyDeleteIt's intriguing to see just how many shapes that neck can twist into!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteNice set of pictures - I like these herons - I think they were the first heron I saw when I moved to Australia.
ReplyDeleteI remember the water dragons being in the botanic gardens in Brisbane.
As you may be able to tell from the shape of my Kite pictures, there was a bit of cropping involved in the images!
Thanks for linking to WBW.
