Heron-ymus Bosch?

2008.06.08

So it's a flora and fauna weekend. Not really like me but, what the hell, a change is as good as a rest they say.

This was more of a technical exercise than anything else and an opportunity to use a new telephoto lens (practising for my African trip coming up soon!). I have to admit I'm quite pleased with the result.

Anyhow, this is a grey heron and here's a link to all the techie bird-watching stuff at the RSPB site - Grey heron

Sorry for the awful pun - couldn't help myself :)
