I immediately thought of "Green Grow the rushes, Oh!" but I couldn't lay my hands on any Lily-white boys so decided to post these two bird studies.
Its hard enough to get close to a heron, let alone a heron trying to balance on the park railings! its not the world's best photo, but I was anxious to get something before he took fright and flew away.
Now I know the gull is sitting on a figure 6, but he is only one gull! He was on a marker buoy on Lake Windermere in the Lake District.
Only a short blog again - new glasses still not made an appearance! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for sometime this coming week.

I know exactly how you feel, life doesn't stand still for us photographers. there have been many times I've had to hurry, missing the optimum picture, in order to capture the subject before it's gone. Great picture none the less.
Gee, I hope you get your glasses soon, Gilly!! I love herons.
You have been waiting so long.... I do hope they come soon.
It is a rare sight to see a heron perched on a railing, so good for you for capturing this image!
Lovely photos, Gilly. You HAVE been waiting for a long time for those specs!
Ahhh, gilly, the power of ONE! Nice photos...so did the heron fly quickly after you got his photo?
Two beautiful bird photos, Gilly - fantastic!
Great pictures Gilly!
How long is it supposed to take to get those glasses?! It must be driving you crazy!
I like your picture of the heron. I included one in my singles post.
Herons always look prehistoric to me - great shots Gilly. Fingers crossed for the neww glasses! PS Pop across, I came over to the wrong side this weekend, and was most suprised when it rained!! xxx
