A heron perches on a tree branch in a grassy field. The tree and branches are bare, adding a serene, natural ambiance.

A heron flies through a forested area, gray wings spread wide. Bare branches partly obscure the view.

Returning to Lindley Wood reservoir after a few months the ground had a few days this week with no rain. Hence it was a bit drier underfoot but the steel grey clouds were ever present. Luckily this made the grey heron feel at home as he hopped about surveying his empire.

I am still at the early stages in learning "action photography" but at least I can now access all the "action" settings when I am surprised by a bird flight. Now I just need to learn how to observe flights not obscured by branches.
