Wary and unaware (Ardea cinerea)

tripod; -0.33 EV; 1/3200s; f/5.6; ISO 400
Just a fullframe portrait of this fine heron ... switching the camera to its vertical position was really a pain: each slightest movement was detected by its keen eyes ..
Location
Isola della Cona (Gorizia - NE Italy)
Date taken
16-04-2008
Scientific name
Ardea cinerea
Equipment used
Canon 20D; Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 + TC 1.4x
Beautiful portrait. Very similar to our Blue Heron except the colour. I find these guys are a fun to watch!
 
Very, very beautiful portrait, Max. Somehow Im never happy of my own shots of this bird. You did wonderful job here. Love the BG of this image. 10/10! :clap:
