Nice pic with good color HJ. These guys are usually quite shy and difficult to photograph down under if they see you. Reply ↓
This individual was almost invisible hiding in vegetation, then made a move and walked on top of the aquatic plants where I spot it clearly I used my 150-500mm lens to capture this. Thank you Ashley. 🙂 Reply ↓

Great shot! Is this heron a close relative to our Green Heron?
Yes! Very close relative. Good question Tiny. Thank you! 🙂
