One of our resident grey herons stopping by. I saw him land on the roof and had the impression he wouldn't stay there long and he didn't. I got him coming and going.

They're really getting into their breeding plumage now. Taken late in the day.

Very nice! Did you use pre-capture for these, since you expected the heron to depart again quickly?

Thanks.
No, I didn't. They're such slow flyers that I didn't think of it. But when they leave it's almost always sudden, they let themselves fall of the roof of a houseboat and you miss the first few shots, like I missed them here! Next time I'll use pre-capture.

I hope you charged it properly for the services and make it into a small business to support GAS funds ;haha;

Hi Levina, Thank You.

Once upon a time when I was younger it was the sparrows that you saw the most, now in the woodland walks I do it's definitely the Robins. They have no fear either, like the one in the photograph they approach you without hesitation. They make me smile whenever they're around.
