Heron
by Alan Hewitt
This Grey Heron took flight after getting a bit too close to nesting Avocets. The Male Avocet (out of shot) repeatedly swooped at the Heron until it fled.
Equipment: Nikon D300, Nikon 200-400

I am a landscape & wildlife photographer based in the county of Northumberland in the north of England. I consider myself fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful countryside and coastline together with a wealth of wildlife which all combine to offer fantastic photographic opportunities. I am an entirely self taught photographer and I am always looking to continuously improve upon my work and expand my portfolio.
