Eyes on Heron

I got a few shots of a Heron, here's one of them, I had to use full zoom, so it's not picture perfect but I'd say it was a good start.

I've always found Herons a little more interesting than your average Goose or Duck, most probably because I see herons far less.

The Heron above is a great blue Heron, it looks more Grey to me than blue but who am I to argue with Wikipedia.

Herons are wading birds there diets consists of a wide variety of aquatic animals, including fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic insects. Though I don't think you get many reptiles where this picture was taken or crustaceans for that matter. I did see a heron catch a fish once though, again exciting stuff (to me).

On that subject I think I might be going fishing soon, that might promise some new picture opportunities.
