I knew the sun wouldn't last...

We have been having some really nice weather for May, it came to an end today. On the good side I did not have any images of Heron in the rain until today. C&C always welcome. ISO 400 F8 @ 1/160thsec 400mm

Hi Paul, you got this one spot one. Well done

[Bobobird]

Cool shot.

[Myk]

Nice shot. A small price to pay to keep things green around here

[jeeperman]

Thank you Clive, Bobo and Mike.

Yes mike, I agree. I was just getting used to working in the sun for a change. lol

I like it Paul - even though the bird doesn't appear to like it much ! Very candid shot and the rain adds an interesting touch.

Thank you Dave. I like the rains effect on the image as well and is really why I took the shot. Even why I used the shutter speed I did so the rain had some movement. A little bit of a pain handheld at 4oomm.

This is terrific Paul....a really special shot oozing with character and charm.

Nice image Paul, a heron with a personality. Keep your powder dry...

Nice pic. Bruce

[jeeperman]

Thank you Sharon, Joe and Bruce.

Joe....Powder?

Paul, your bird shots are absolutely amazing (yes, ALL of them). This one is another
great shot, especially for the conditions. From the look on the Heron's face I would
guess he's not too thrilled with the rain either!

[jeeperman]

Thanks Mike, too kind.

[Jack R Mann]

Love the pose, well done Paul.

[Arlen]

It looks like it's in a bad mood, and is about to stomp something to death.

[jeeperman]

He did have some character Arlen, I don't think he was to happy. Took flight and yelled at me on the way. Guess I overstayed my welcome.
