Re: PESO: Grey Heron
Larry, if you watch the WildEarth channel you will see plenty of that. Man is just as bad but nowadays the prey animals & birds are (hopefully) killed in a more civilized fashion. I wonder how many people realise that a juicy steak was once part of a living animal? Then we have the Vegans who are totally opposed to man being at the top of a food chain. Haven't heard them complaining about the Lions or Orcas yet!

Re: PESO: Grey Heron
Funny, all the unsolicited reels offered to me on instagram are about cats and dogs which are so cosy with each other, as well as wild animals befriended with people. My late dog was always ready to fight with cats, wheras animals in our local nature usually do not appreciate my presence.

Re: PESO: Grey Heron
Looks like both you and the heron had a good time. :-) Good pose, but the cattail crossing the beak distracts me a bit. The light and contrast is a bit hard as it often is at this time of year. Hope you have detail in the bog-bean flowers that is lost on my crappy laptop monitor. The flowers add so nicely to the spring feeling of the shot.

Re: PESO: Grey Heron
Nice shot and the bird is positioned well, but that bit of bull rush on its beak is a bother. Light is a bit harsh, but what can ya do eh.;-) Dave On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 6:07 AM, John Whittingham jo...@carmel.ac.uk wrote: Taken at Mere Sands Wood, Lancashire, Sunday afternoon.

Re: PESO: Grey Heron
Very interesting John, but a little busy for my taste - too much in focus and too strong foreground. Shows the bird and the place, I´d like more of the bird. Not that it´s easy as talking about it...

RE: PESO: Grey Heron
Thanks Jostein, the Heron was quite content and kind enough to sit there for quite some time. The weather and surrounds made for a very pleasurable afternoon, I think I'll be paying another visit soon, maybe I'll catch the Kingfishers there next time.
