ahhh there you are Ulla..posted 45 minutes ago and I'll bet Ivan is at it now. Well a fine post of a bird not seen by me very often. Certainly not in real life, but also rarely in pictures. I do see rather large Blue Herons from time to time...but nothign quite as this... A very fine image...clearly done and well noted as you like to do.You are very good as is Ivan in protection and love of natural things...Trek on!

Merhaba Ulla,
Thanks to you, we are getting acquainted with Australian avifauna better and better! This one looks like our Grey Heron, but a little bit on the plump side I think. What are those succulent plants I wonder, they look like mesebrianthemums or maybe a Carpobrotus sp?
regards,
Mehmet

Hi Ulla,

A beautiful picture and a beautiful Heron. I love the natural colors. Excellent details of the face and plummage. A cute pose sniffing the green leaves. You have composed this very well. Hope your skies are still blue!

Hello Ulla,

This is a very nice potrait of the heron. The colors have come out especially well. If I may say I think a lower POV would look better for a shot like this. I can imagine it might be difficult to get down low and shoot before the bird vanishes however!

TFS

This guy looks way out of place! I'm sure no fish are to be found in bushes but I suppose it's an urbanised Heron seeing as it's not shy, so it's probably searching for a discarded McDonalds or something!
Anyway you got a great image of it!
The photo is sharp and crisp with a great composition and POV.
Very good lighting and nice colours.
The green plant is very interesting... I wonder what it is!
A perfect photo to close your Australian sequence :)
Well done Ulla!
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Ulla,

I've never seen a white faced Heron. It is a nice looking bird and you have captured it very well, with great detail in the feathers and nice bright eye.

Hi Ulla

Great close-up - I have never managed to get so close to one. Good detail and exposure. Good note too.

BTW We can grow the tree ferns I mentioned in the UK - esp in the S & W - C. Australis can be tricky, but I have it nest to the conservatory protected by others. The big ones are more reliable - they are above the worst frosts and we overwinter them with straw in the crown. All of mine still have green fronds.

hello Ulla,
I am pleasure seeing always your Australian trip shot in 2005. This also great capture of White-faced Heron with great details. Lighting, POV, eye contact very nice. Nicely composed and framed. Myrutus or related green plants very nice for composition. Good notes.
Looking forward to seeing fallowing shots of this trip. TFS, have a nice Sunday to you and Ivan.

This is a gem of a picture from your Australia trip in 2005, Ulla.
The setting is very natural and attractive. I like those rocks and green plants in the background.
TFS and regards.

Yes, its a local Heron here too, Ulla. They soon learn where to beg for a handout - and Manly is a very busy place with lots of titbits dropped for them. (Manly a great beach too - did you swim there? November should have been good for swimming)

Good shot and it looks a lovely hot sunny day there too,
Janice
