Distant Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)

Another from yesterday. This bird landed right at the top of the highest tree on Heron Island. The Island is at least 100 yards away, so not a lot of detail, but I like the image.

Panasonic FZ28 + TCON 17
Thanks all, they look so "wrong" in trees like this, but they all seem to do it.
 
Tilly: All being well I might get some pictures in the breeding season next year. Heron Island is full of Grey Herons and Little Egrets during the breeding season. I have a TCON 17 now, so the Island will be just about within reach.
