[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Squacco Heron/Ardeola ralloides,Kriptotsiknias in Greek(the heron that is hidden),
paradoxically this year remained only a individual in the region,with a Little Bittern/ixobrychus minutus that i will present in future,
rather today that i write they have migrated in order to they find their companion,
it is pity because the region entertained always aquatic birds,even for reproduction,
it is the remnant of ancient water biotope.

Hi Nasos.
What a nice natural scene. I like it so much. Main character is pictured at its classic state at hunting. I welcome perfect wide DOF. Bird, stones, water and dry water plants are fine and detailed perfectly. POV and composition of the shot are also wonderful. Well done and TFS.

Yasu Nasos,
Bird hunters very careful ...
