I watched this green heron for about 1/2 hour today, making an absolute pig of himself.

I saw 1 too. It was pretty far away. And my shoots aren't as nice as yours. I was pretty excited to see it though.

Fantastic shots... out of curiousity, did you use and extender with your lens.
I am amazed as to how close you got to this fella. We have a vast number of blue herons in the area where I live, but they are ever so skittish and will fly away at the least bit of noise.
Great job.

Peecee: Yes, if my camera can do it, so can yours. I think the L glass is a big plus. Remember, the 70-200 f4 is canon's most affordable "big glass."
Ray: No extender, just the 70-200. The shots are cropped and processed though. I was about 18-20 feet away. Here are two more, one from a different angle where he's actually in the process of grabbing a fish:

| 2 more stunners John, as for "most affordable" I'm afraid £400 is a tad too much at the moment:) |

Some shots my daughter took. She can get amazingly close to birds and really enjoys using MY camera and MY lens.

Beautiful birds everyone!! Now, can you help me identify this one? I'm assuming it's some kind of Heron but I know almost nothing about birds. I got a few shots of this guy while were in Florida last week and he didn't seemed to be disturbed by our presence at all... Beautiful!

| Looks like a great blue heron, maybe a juvenile, but I'll have to check. |
