heron and buzzard

I got these a few months ago. the buzzard is a cropping from a shot taken through a 500mm lense the heron is a regular in one spot up the antrim coast and not easily disturbed by people. For the same reasons as in the seals thread dont ask where.

I can see your point of view The witch, but I do like seeing them beside a lake - they look so thoughtful and elegant.
