It was fascinating watching this Grey Heron do its grooming today

Thanks Nasos.
Like the red dragonfly in the September thread, this was taken with the heir of the 300mm lens you bought from me.

Nice, I like especially the first and third image. Strong title also, a bad hair day is my wife's worst nightmare :D

Thanks Luc & Akira.

Normally a Heron is something I see flying away from me.
On this day I was stood in a hide and was able to watch this one for a good 15 minutes as he preened, then jumped onto the post
