I adore herons…they are so graceful, yet so fierce when protecting their territory. Amazing birds.

Yet they look so awkward, but indeed they are one of the most graceful birds out there. IMHO

Cracking pictures again, Danny. 
I think possibly, the very first one is my favourite.
Wish I could take pics like that. I suppose a decent camera would be a starter.

Great set of photos. One thing if I may point out there are some unscrupulous people that might easily remove your copywrite signature on your photos and steal them as their own.
My late manageress had a hell of a game as the person who stole one of her photos then sold it on to a company that used it to promote their product. That company claimed they had legally purchase the photo and she should persue the person (unknown) instead. after a lot of research and questions and legal implications she eventually got compensation from that company
I suggest you also use a faint but easily seen watermark across the photos. Trying to remove a watermark is far harder and gives better protection on your property.
you can also if someone want a copy send them a proof copy first. That is one that can’t be expanded without pixelating (downgrading quality). A common practice with wedding photographers I understand

Wow! Danny, I have never got a good pic of a bird in flight, but then I only own an idiot proof camera.

Quite true and I used to worry about it, but anymore I’m not real particular. As you can see I did the watermark the signature. I can always prove I took it with the RAW file. Thanks for looking out though.
Tiffany Of course the type of camera you have will make a difference to what you can capture. When I change over from a film camera to digital I was sceptical about digital photography as it had only just come onto the market.
So my first digital camera was a Kodax CX7220 ( released in 2004) that was only a 2 MP camera. I didn’t know what to expect so wanted to go as cheap as possible. Strangely enough it did ok for most things but what i found was trying to get a closeup on a distant subject it failed on. Since then progressed through the Nikon range to be happy with what i have now.

Danny all i can see is your signature on the photos not a watermark and that is easily removed
Yeah I took all the watermarked photos down and chucked them and slowly I am removing my name from some of the old ones. I saw I was pretty much the only photographer signing his work. I have the RAW file so any copyright infringement case I would win.
