Great behavior shot Verdon and the heron gets 10 points for no splash on entry. :toast:

Another exquisite capture Verdon. I find it absolutely fascinating how it's perched grasping the log with it's left talon while the right one is lifted. Really stunning! :toast:

Nice shot with a 60mm...600mm, like the small fly to the left of the photo too.

Great timing on this one Verdon, looks like he's pulling out all the stops to catch his meal.

Sweet Action Shot :cool:

Verdon,

Great action captured here, I like the fact that the head is not totally visible :toast: :toast:

Nice capture of the Black Crown and good timing, Verdon, and especially nice framing. I like the one leg with the foot grasping the perch.
