LOL Brian... that looks to be a very uncomfortable perch with all those spikes!!!

What a great picture you've taken of him - excellent work here lad. Although you say it's fairly common, we actually don't see pictures of this species coming in too often.

Such a striking close up study of this lovely heron, Brian.
