Herons, as promised 1

Herons, as promised 1 (Ardea cinerea)

I did promise some Grey Heron shots next time I was logged in. Here they come. That day there were four Herons resting quite close to the shore. The gulls were NOT happy about it and tried chasing them off, but the Herons just flew a short distance, moving from one skerry perch to another but not leaving the mudflats. I got quite a few close shots of them flying this way and that. These three are among the best of them.
