A good set Chris. The fish is well out of water. The last image is my pick.

Best regards

Nice! We get Egrets here sometimes and if I even look at them they fly off!

Good series of images showing the full stalk, hit and reward!

Well the best heron photo that we could get there today (Sigma 50-500mm on the K-S2) was what I think was a junevile heron, judging by the markings AND the fact that the daft thing was standing ON the island and expecting to succesfully grab a fish. It did try though!

Did get a nice one of the Little Grebe feeding a young un tho BUT that was with the Nikon P950 bridge camera (as it was so far away)
