Pacific (White-necked) Heron

Photographed in light rain a few weeks ago at the turf farms near Richmond, NSW.

I love your photo of the Pacific Heron. I will never forget, when I looked at the first photos I took of one in breeding plumage, with the red on the wings, I thought the bird might have been attacked by a dog and needed help. Well, now I know, it's a perfectly happy bird.

Nice that you are showing us some of your great photos, thanks Akos.

I've noticed that I've been saying 'wow' a lot, but everyone is posting so many beautiful photos from all over the country.

This is an awesome shot, I love it! This is the best image quality I've seen yet on the forums. Great shot Windhover! Are you a professional photographer? Judging by your avatar you've got some serious equipment!

Hi Grohlster

No, I am just obsessed with wildlife photography. That's all. :-)

Thanks for looking.

Hendo, same bird. Officially now called a White-necked Heron, but I cannot stand that name. The previous name of Pacific Heron sounds so nice to me.
