from my travel of June in the lake Kerkini,
the shoots of birds in flight,are particularly difficult and when you have one big telelens more difficult,in the particular moment I take at least 20 frames,in order to I remain satisfied from the result,
I photographed this scene next to the lake Kerkini in the fields that are found in her south-western side.

thank you for your visit in my collection!

good morning I wish you good Sunday!!!

Hallo Nasos
Most impressive and super sharp. The detail captured on this Black-crowned Night Heron is great. Wow it is truly a beautiful image, and the bird's lovely wingspan displays so well against the pale blue sky as background, which adds to the speciality of this already super photo. The colours shown is just magic, and I especially refer to the beak and the paws. Thanks for sharing. Super work once again.
Best regards
Anna
