Low light, high ISO, long lens, hand held. Excuses over. lol I'll definitely go back when there's better light.

First is a Heron I guess but what is the other one?

Ah, a Moorhen. I've heard of them but this is the first I've seen. Thanks

Nice shots, despite excuses Moorhens can be fiesty little blighters.

It's also only the second group of shots taken with my new 70-300 nikkor. It was just nice to get out for half an hour without rain

Thanks for the comments all.
