Took this one very early yesterday morning. Another Great Heron I know, but I find them very beautiful and quite a challenge to get a good photo out of.

@ alve:
your first shot of the heron is an absolute masterpiece. Thanks for sharing that beautiful shot. I had an incident with a small bird today. It seemed to have fallen out of the nest. But as i learned today, it's not unusual, that young birds are outside the nest, even if they can't fly.

A Common Kestrell chick who crashed a couple of days after leaving the nest, totally exhausted and unable to take care of itself..

@ Alve and napo. Thanks a lot guys!
@ Turerkan. Thanks a lot and a big.. ;o) @ Brettania, a special thank you to you! I believe your heart is bleeding just as much as mine for these beautiful 'Lords of the Sky'. I've got some more pictures of the little fellow that are waiting for PP, will post here later on. I'm so glad to tell you that the little falcon is doing allright. I got an e-mail from the rescue team this morning and they were happy to tell me that he is eating with an apetite, gaining weight and is feeling generally good. They will call me when it's time to set the bird free so I can take some pictures of the release. ------------- http://www.flickr.com/photos/ouscazz/ - My Gallery |
