What funny motif shots, Chris.... very interesting looking birds on the first two!

Thanks Romy

As we see most of the time, the Heron is normally very elegant and nicely neat in appearance. =) Quite funny to see a disheveled one. One of the things that I like about photographing birds is the humour we can find in behaviour. Doesn't need to be serious all the time!
