Obliging Heron

Spoilt for choice today.

Walked into town along the river and took some photos I liked, including one of the turbulent water as it flowed through the weir. That was the one I was planning on using. But on the way back we saw a heron land close to the bank about 100 metres ahead. Despite a few people and bikes around it was still there when we got close. It was hunkered down almost invisible but Kar spotted it while everyone passed by oblivious.

Once it realised it had been spotted it stood up and gave us about 5 minutes of photo opportunities.

I quite liked the movement in this picture, plus I was 2 metres away from a heron. Much more interesting than the other options!
