White Heron in Flight<br />
This is one of a series of shots taken of a white heron attempting to feed by snatching<br />
its prey (usually unsuccessfully) in mid-flight. This is very unusual behaviour for a heron, in<br />
fact I have never seen or heard of this before. Usually they wade slowly in shallow water,<br />
stalking their prey and catching it with a lightning fast stab of the beak. This was one of its<br />
unsuccessful attempts, leaving the water - as evidenced by the splash of water behind the<br />
legs.<br />
F/6.3, 1/1600 s, ISO1600, 140mm<br />
