That is a good study of a Heron John, how do you manage to get that close..or a case of staying put in a hide?

Denis... I took the shot at Bosherston Lilly Ponds in Pembrokeshire. I usually go there a couple of times each year and I've got to know where the Herons favourite feeding places are. There is a stone bridge over one of the lakes which has a wall with vegetation growing on it at one end, when I spotted the Heron it was near the opposite end of the bridge to where I was walking. I had to walk over the bridge in a stooped position keeping my head below the top of the stone wall until I reached the vegetation where I could stand more upright (I'd walked about 100 yards stooped and was glad to get upright again), after that it just a case of using the vegetation as cover and waiting for the Heron to work it's way to where I was hiding.
