    I love great blue herons. I'm not a birder but it seems like I see them all over the place.

    Beautiful bird and photos. The Blue Heron is a bit naughty in The Netherlands. Hij looking for garden ponds, where fish swim around. He eats the koi and goldfish

    Good morning, Denise. Great captures of the GB Heron. I am always amazing to see these big birds dunk their whole bodies into the water. They are always coming up with food. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!

    Hello Denise!:) These are all incredible captures. The one where his head is under water is funny,:) but he got his meal, and then flew off. A great and enjoyable sequence of images.
