The first morning I saw this Heron it came as such a surprise to see it out on open water, though on the edge. It was so close too. These birds look so prehistoric. Of course I went scrambling for the camera. I got a couple shots that were a bit too far away and unfortunately it blends in with the shore pretty well so it is hard to see anyway. Just as I found just the right spot to shoot from, it took off. What a sight.

I’m sure I was a sight too, scrambling over rocks in my pajamas and slippers! (Glad no one was around to witness that.)

I hope it becomes a regular visitor.
