Patience

            Taken last Thursday night I'd still say I've even impressed myself with how sharp I managed to achieve the Grey Heron in this shot when hand holding with my 150-600mm at a 1/15 shutter speed to get as much motion blur in the water as I could. Wished id brought my tripod with me but think I'd have prob spooked the bird messing about with that. I was amazed he let me creep so close in the first place.

Shortly after this I slipped on the rocks and really gave myself a sore one and back and wrist been sore all week. Small price to pay for getting the shots though... my 5 or so mins with such a big bird at close quarters was fascinating.!
