GBH Take 2
I love this shot. It’s another one from my local marsh. Whenever I’ve been down there, I’ve seen this GBH, and usually the Great Egret as well. They don’t usually let you get too close to them. Indeed, this heron had his eye on me the entire time, it seemed he was watching me even when I was on the other side of the marsh. There is a walkway up above the marsh that let me get above and closer to the heron. I walked up there slowly to a railing that let me get fairly close to him. He was eyeing me the whole time but didn’t seem to mind me up there. I took some shots, then continued a littler further to get even closer to him. I stood there taking some shots and watching him up close through my viewfinder. As I was watching him, he just turned his head slightly towards me to get a better look at me. Click. Oooh, the intensity of his stare is just neck tingling. I guess you just had to be there with me to fully appreciate it. But that is why I love this image.
Here’s another one:
