Borran's Nature Photography: The Grey Heron (Ardea Cinerea)
This is a Grey heron, it likes to eat fish and usually builds nests high in trees.
About 20 years ago, this bird was quite unusual i Finland, just over 100 pairs. Nowadays they are common, especially in Southern Finland.
Where I live, I've seen them quite often. There is a lake nearby where they seem to thrive.
This particular heron flew right over me and landed on a rock nearby. It stood there for a long time and just enjoyed the sun.
Here are some pictures I took that day.

| Shutter Speed | 1/160 sec |

| Aperture | f/5.0 |
| Shutter Speed | 1/2000sec |

I know, the Heron's face is overexposed. But I don't have Lightroom right now, so I can't fix it.
