An elegant White-faced heron

White-faced heron

Last night I was looking through some of my photos from a few years ago. I am not sure if I ever used the above photo of a White-faced heron taken at Victor Harbor on the south coast of South Australia, but it caught my eye as I scanned the photos taken on that day. (Mmmm… yes I did use it here.)

What an elegant looking bird.

Sometimes the birds we see, and photograph, almost look as if they are deliberately posing for the shot. I like that.

This also proves that even our most common birds can make wonderful subjects for our cameras.

Good birding.
