Hello Nasos,
That's a funny picture. This Heron seems to elongate its neck to indefinite..
And you have chosen the right framing for it.
Very well seen.

Hi Nasos,

I was away for a few days and am trying to catch up. This Squacco Heron amongst the tall reeds is just wonderful. The long slender neck and the wonderful face, beak and eye are marvelous. Beautiful colors and fine details. I love the setting and composition.

Jane

Great heron shot. I didn't even know about this type of heron.

Are they easy to spot ?
