Hello once again,

I was taught a lesson recently that everyone should take note of.......... DON'T TAKE FRIENDS FOR GRANTED!!!

Steph and myself speak with our friend Ken almost every day. He knows how much into wildlife we are and how far we travel to have our encounters.

Several months ago, he happened to mention a local "Heronry" that I obviously knew about!....... I told him that I "obviously" knew nothing about it! I then proceeded to "milk" him for information!  

Obtaining directions, we went to try and locate it.  Locate it we did!,  and we made note to return when there was going to be something to see.

Return we did - four or five days ago!  

There were herons flying in from all sides as well as perched in trees!  It was our first visit and as it was late in the day, we made mental note of sun position, nest positions, flight paths, making plans to return in the next few days.

Steph and I took a few photo's although the light was in the wrong direction. 

We were nearly falling over whilst trying to take these shots as they were quite literally fifty feet above our heads

We made note to return on a bright and sunny day.

It just goes to show that the chance to take good images can come from the most "un-looked" for sources. I've known Ken for years....who have you known for years?

We hope to get some decent Heron images in the next few months, so watch this space.
