Green (Butorides virescens)

This Green Heron was "hiding" in a hard-to-reach corner towards the north end of the lake. I had to twist my way through blackberry shrub that partly blocked the trail down to a little fishing beach to get a closer view of him. He seemed to know that humans couldn't get any closer than that, so wasn't bothered by me suddenly appearing there.

That struggle through the shrubbery was well worth it Ann.... this is such a lovely picture of your heron and in a very pretty setting too.

Nice one lassie.

Actually that reminds me of a diver walk on my last day!!!;)
