grey herons

That moose I chased off was SOOOO BIG! No moose or herons were harmed taking this image. I'll have to take you here when you visit, Delia. Janet says she always sees at least one moose when she comes here. It'll be on our way home from looking for bluethroats up on Dovre Mountain.

They seem a well-matched couple.

This Grey Heron promised his girlfriend a penthouse apartment, and he seems to have kept his promise.

These three Herons were part of a group of six. The wind was rather bitter and the birds were sheltering with the reeds at their backs. Although the birds were about sixty yards away, my camera held steady in the shelter of the hide and with editing at home I managed to get this picture.

The coastal meadows by the Baltic shores in Southern Sweden are pasture land as well as recreational areas and are intercrossed by brackish lagoons that attract a rich birdlife, mainly waders. Starting around midsummer Grey Herons appear in the late afternoon for feeding on the fish captured in...

Fighting Grey Heron

They looked more curmudgeonly when they were staring in opposite directions, before the one on the left started preening. Out of my lens range, though. This was the sharpest I got and I'm posting it mostly for the view and the light. Twas a gorgeous day - cold but gorgeous. The fjord so blue...

The tide was out in Caernarvon and the Herons were feeding along the sand banks, they did not like there own company. Both pairs flew at each other and the noise was screeching.

It's always interesting watching the interplay between these large wading birds.

Cannot see the head of the Heron at the foot of the pic,but these 2 really were fighting,lots of wing flapping etc,just wish the light could have been a little better

Another one from the Green Sandpiper search, lol....Herons with a Little Egret and various ducks

they said "anything goes", mate...

Seeing as Herons seem to be flavour of the month, for some of you anyway. Here is my contribution.

How these huge birds can perch so high and keep their balance is amazing.The slender branch at the top of this tree,was swaying to and fro with the weight of these birds,but they held on regardless.

The Grey herons were not having too much success feeding tonight as the light was begining to fade hope they can fish in the dark :)

This youngster was waiting behind the parent bird hoping there might be some food .There were approx 40 Herons perched in the trees
