This heron caught me by suprise, jumping out of a tree.

(Here some information, I did some translation myself hope you understand)

Herons can be divided in different groups, in different kind of areas around the world. In Holland the blue and grey herons are very common.
They are hunters, and look for different preys, from small mammals and big fish, amphibian, snakes, other birds wich they pearce with their large beak.
During breading season their beak and legs change too a deep red/pink colour.
The blue heron is very alert on its feathers: the feathers fall apart wich becomes a powder substance. The Heron rubs the powder into its body, and can help to remove oil and dirt. The skin is waterproof this way.

Hello Reina, Great timing and you got the whole bird in the frame :-} I don't know how many times I get an otherwise good shot, only to have the beak, part of the wing or tail missing..Good sharpness and detail,
Well done & Thank You!

WOWWWWWW Bonjour Reina .... c'et le plus beau cliché qui m'as été donné de voir toutes mes félicitations BRAVO

Hi Reina,
wow, what luck you had to see this szene and make such a wonderful sharp shot. I like it very much. I also thought to show a bird-shot today, but after looking at this one I decided to post something other ;-)
Thank you very much, bye

Dit is een hele mooie, precies op het juiste moment op de juiste plaats, en dan ook nog scherp genomen, het moet je maar lukken. Met wat voor een lens heb je deze gemaakt?

Great action shot !
It's very difficult to catch these birds in action, as they spend most of their time resting or hunting on the ground. Great sharpness and especially good lighting of the body and even of a portion of the underwing !
TFS !

Nice capture of this beautiful bird in action Reina. Have a Happy New Year! :)
