I think this is a Grey Heron. Spotted it almost by accident as it sat hidden in the tree.
Magnificent and large bird only 3meters away with great patience as it waited for me to change lens and take a few photos.
thank you mr/mrs Bird.
P.S Apparently their call is a loud croaking "fraaank"

Ha! Great title and lovely, warm-gray processing on this.

Good shot. There are a lot of these birds in my area. I haven't succeeded getting one myself on photo, because they tend to fly away on approach. BTW, I like the 'secret dark room' function on your site.

Brilliant shot and awesome processing - you've done a great job drawing out the detail on this one.

This style of yours is REALLY nice. I love PP that you have done on this Heron creature.
