I came across this blue heron today. A rather rare visitor here. The local crow chief didn´t think much of it though and chased him off ...

Good catch Eldar

Really nice capture of the moment.
Handheld...wow..you've been working out ;D

Thanks.
Serendipidy, it's actually more practice than working out. Adopt a proper standing rifle position, with your left elbow tight against your body, breathing is important and then it's not so difficult.

Very nice capture, Eldar.

How was the landing after that approach?

Very nice capture, Eldar.

How was the landing after that approach?

He eventually found the glide path and avoided a major disaster

Thanks serendipidy, Northstar, candyman, click and rbielefeld!

My weekend was full so I didn't get a chance to really do much shooting but Tuesday evening I left work only an hour late and visited an area in the Tijuana River Valley for the evening light. Had a Costa's hummingbird that only liked the blooms in the shade but I really wanted the juxtaposed colors.

Eldar, you inspire me to stop merely doing dumbbells and to pick up the keyboard and rent a Big White for a week.
