[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot was taken at the top of the waterfall in the gardens at Blenheim Palace. I stood and watched this magnificent bird fishing for ages before I realised I had my camera in my hand and could get a shot or two.

I am not sure which breed of Heron it is I am guessing a grey or blue so if you would be kind enough to set me straight on this I would appreciate it.

Many thanks for viewing

kind regards Helen

Hello Helen. Excellent shot at this Grey heron. Nicely perched on top of that fall in good lighting. I like the details exposure of the plumage and stunning sharp details around the head. You have maintained nice shallow depth for the image to be isolated well from the background. Top quality shot and thanks for sharing. Best regards. Jusni

Hello Helen

A lovely capture of this proud heron.
The POV you have managed is awesome.
The focus is sharp and the plumage detail is lovely.
This bird is very similar to our Great Blue Heron on this side.

Wonderful shot of this Heron Helen.
I'm guessing its a Grey Heron because everyone else is saying so,but I don't know for sure myself.
Whatever it is,it looks as though it is in breeding plumage.
Excellent capture.
Cheers
Steve
