Very nice! I think Herons make great subjects because of their alertness and the way they pause (to look for prey) rather than being in continuous motion. It’s always nice to see images of these impressive birds, Stan > On Mar 18, 2024, at 1:27 AM, Alan C <cole@lantic.net> wrote: > > Forgot the link! > > https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/53594856663/ > > A handsome Grey Heron at Sable Dam, Kruger Park, late yesterday. > > K5 & HD 55-300 @ 300mm, f8, 1/500sec ISO160 > > Alan C > -- > %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List > To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-leave@pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Thanks, Stan. With the dam still at about 80%, the N bank track is inaccessible. Luckily he popped up right in front of us as far as we could get.

Nice picture indeed. After I saw a grey heron swallowing two coot chicken in two successive flights across the pool nearby it is no longer my favourite bird.

A bit gruesome but that's nature for you. I have never seen anything like that - the ones around here all seem to survive on tiddlers.

There is a very impressive account on Instagram called nature_is_metal which is a collection of videos and photos of things happening in nature that do not give you the warm fuzzies.

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.
