Heron taking flight

I disturbed this heron while walking along Scalby Cut, a channel for diverting water from the River Derwent towards the sea in order to prevent flooding downstream. I definitely had the bigger fright!

Wow! I can imagine it would make you jump Doug! Two terrific shots. I love the your focusing, which you must have done very quickly, and the sheep in the background taking no notice at all!!

Superb pictures. Sunday Greetings, Rosa.
