An unusual pose of the great heron. This juvenile was trying to catch some fish in a very thick zone of lillipads. (taken 2024 aug.)

Nice timing and angle on the shot Yves. Cool to see the leg lifted so high and the herons concentration on the water.

An excellent and interesting view of this young heron, Yves. He looks right at home among those gorgeous lily pads too. Super shot.

Quite a different perspective, Yves. Nice composition, too.
