Great image :wink:
Just about spot on exposure, give it +.3 EV & I think you would of nailed it.
Great work :D

We up here call them blue cranes, I can’t remember the techno name for them but they are I think the only type of crane here in OZ.

Cheers

It is a White Faced Heron, according to my Australian bird book.

Very common throughout the whole of Australia, even on the coastal areas, pretty much wherever there is a suitable habitat, these birds will nest and live.

They make great photos.
