Black Crowned Night Herons are primarily summer visitors, most leave when the first snow comes. This hardy individual stayed the winter though but you have to say it doesn't look as if it's enjoying the weather much............
This was on the river just around the corner from my flat and was taken with a 70-300 lens.
Good record to see this guy sitting on the snow. We have had a beautiful spring-like week here and I heard a cuckoo yesterday! The swans are all leaving this morning too. My eyes can't handle the blue sky anymore.
ReplyDeleteRight, it does not look like he is enjoying the winter at all!! but at least he gave you a nice picture ;-)
