The heron from yesterday's walk

I would never have noticed it, sitting quietly up a tree in the shade, across the canal, had a young man with sharper eyes not spotted it ahead of me. I noticed him photographing something as I walked home, some 100 metres ahead of me. He considerately moved on as I approached and gave me a turn with this noble bird 😊

Always nice to see another person happy to walk alone with a camera

Same heron, different tree having moved on, stood upon another sturdy main branch of an oak. Dramatic pose, poised to depart again, looking left
The heron on a branch above me and looking down, giving a preys eye view and showing how it can direct its eyes to look below even when its chin and beak is up
A heron using the broken branch stump of a large oak as a pedestal, above the canal below
Not technically a good shot of the heron caught in flight. I wasn't ready for motion and the light was low, but I like the motion blur of the background and the graininess of the shot

Still can't believe my luck! First visit to Madera Canyon and I saw a Coppery-tailed Trogon!! 😍

Head and shoulders shot of a Swallow facing to left of frame but head turned to right. Tiny beads of water lay on some of the feathers from the driving drizzle.
