Many thanks Maureen. The herons at the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam are uninvited squatters who live in the trees besides the lakes. They’re remarkably tame in that they don’t fly away when people walk by them and so they are ideal candidates for portrait photography. The heron in the image seemed to be giving me the evil eye as I took aim at it with my camera – ‘any closer and I’ll peck your eye out!!!’ Richard

I love his attitude! Great capture…
Yes. I don’t think the heron welcomed my interest in him/her!
