I've been mooching through my files for something to post has I've not much recent stuff, these shots were taken at Bosherston Lilly Ponds in Pembrokeshire.

It's strange how you get different reactions to posts on different forums, I'm not begging for comments but these shots went down a storm on a forum in the US on which I am a member. 33 views on here and no comments.

Strange indeed, John.

It is a cracking set, as sharp as you like!

Well if you are into herons they dont come a lot better than these

Usually shy birds did you stork them

People seem to be a little shy of comments at the moment its not as if there are heaps of trolls on this forum, which is the main reason I like it

fuzzy... you are right when you say they are shy, I have tried to photograph Herons more times than I can remember. I didn't exactly stork it, I go to Bosherston Lilly Ponds whenever I stay in Pembrokeshire (once or twice each year) and I know where they hang out. There is a bridge across the lake and I used the wall of the bridge to hide behind as much as possible and just waited for around an hour... I think the wait was worth it.

Just catching up with this one, John and yes, I'd say your wait was worth it! Lovely :D

I missed this one! Nicely taken with some good poses.

On the subject of views v comments, I often look at posts in the evening, when David's watching TV, so I can't reply then as it would disturb his viewing. So I often view more than once - the second time I leave a comment.

They are definitely a cracking set sharp and loads of detail a very hard bird to get shots of well for me anyhow, you should be very proud of these
