Went for a trip to the hinterland with Oneputt today. Encoutered some Heron's on a property and managed to gain access.

This one caught in flight

and this one looking for food near the water's edge

Edit: These are not Heron's but Intermediate Egrets - sorry - tired brain

Beautiful captures. The second one is the standout for me. It's a wonderful composition.
