Urban Heron 2013-03-08 I like this heron shot because it shows a bit of building, and because I nailed the focus. With the extender on my telephoto, I have to focus manually. This is the uncropped image. Many thanks for yesterday's comments. I have to go back in a day or two and try the same shot once the blossoms are larger (provided it hasn't snowed again).
Balancing Act 2013-03-12 This cormorant wanted to keep one foot warm. Resting above the city in Vienna and checking out the surroundings. Many thanks for the kind comments on the swan's three point landing. Much appreciated.
