    1. Yes Ferdy, Even I noticed that. Really the snaps are just amazing. I hope we get these kind of images when the subject is nearer and with proper lighting. Nevertheless great photography. Posted 8 years ago
  2. I've been using a bridge camera with fixed telephoto Zoom lens. The purchase cost is about $500 USD Posted 8 years ago

The green heron is a small heron of North and Central America. It was long considered conspecific with its sister species the striated heron, and together they were called "green-backed heron". Birds of the nominate subspecies are extremely rare vagrants to western Europe; individuals from the Pacific coast of North America may similarly stray as far as Hawaii.
