Taken on Saturday. I think it's a (bedraggled) heron? So bedraggled I can't show the picture!

I think it is a Heron, but I am no expert.

Thanks mate. That makes a difference!

It is indeed a Grey Heron, he looks a little lost in the frame though

Thanks for the feedback Les. When you say lost in the frame, do you mean I should have maybe got a bit closer to lose some of the background/foreground?

Yes exactly that maybe even crop the image slightly- as the Heron I'm guessing was the main subject in your shot

Stealth is the key- here's one I managed to get really close too

Excellent shot. Many thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. I'll be sure to apply it next time.
