There was a time when I would do a drive by the inlet and if the birds weren't not there I would continue driving and look for something else. In doing so I always seemed to miss the most amazing shots that other people managed to capture. These days I have learnt to do things differently.
Recently I have been using the car as a hide while photographing the kingfishers but I wanted to see just how close they would let me get to them if I was there first. I set myself up on the edge of the bank in my chair and waited. There was quite a wind blowing and it was so cold I was worried that my shivering might ruin the photos! I must be getting soft!
While I was waiting for the kingfishers I was rewarded for my suffering by a couple of white-faced herons. One adult and one juvenile. The adult was set on chasing off anyone who came near his patch and the juvenile was trying out the kingfisher's branch for size.
