  • Afternoon tea - just a small snack

    G'day all

    Sitting on the banks of the creek at Julia Creek Q, I watched this heron slowly coming towards me - and quick as a flash - grabbing its afternoon tea
    When all was 'down the gurgler' the bird did a funny thing - see final pic

    1- Slowly approaching, stepping very carefully, eyes sweeping from side to side then staring intently into the water

    Panny FZ-200; 24x zoom [600mm film camera equiv]; 1/800s @ F4,0; ISO-100 + some cropping for display

    2- Whammo - gottcha - now what do I do with it ...


    3- Glerp - ooh - down you go


    4- Hmm - that was gooood - what's next?


    As always, feedback welcome
    Phil

      Agree with Todd, terrific series. Nice "pat on the back" fluff up at the end. These Herons (and Egrets) do some crazy things during and after feeding. I have some egret shots that are crazy as. Good work, keep 'em coming Phil.

            Yes - burping, but I'm not sure which end the 'burp' is coming from
