Heron Taking off and landing

[Chocky]

Not fantastic. I was feeling very fragile today. I didn't know he was about to fly and was taken by surprise but I manage to keep up with him. If you listen at the beginnig you can hear his wings whipping

Impressive shot Chocky, illustrates how much power is required for them to take off.

[Chocky]

Yes. Thnak you.
I see them flying all the time . Well living here I would but to catch one taking off is pleasing because they keep so still for such a long time one gets bored keeping the camera on them until the battery runs out. I was lucky today.
