1. Watch Mike's videos. 2. Plan next birding trip. 3. Realise I haven't done a years planning like he has. 4. Get back and admire my (not quite so good) photos. Great video, as usual. Thanks.
Mike this has to be one of your very best, the opening sequence was spell binding. Your innovation is truly inspiring as indeed are your results, well done and I can't wait for your next video.
Nice video, Mike. I enjoy watching and photographing great blue herons two or three times a week. They are always interesting. Sometimes they just stand humped up in the cold, and sometimes they are wading and fishing. I got a series of stills (I don't do video) of one killing and swallowing a snake a month or so back. I got a picture of one landing on a limb in the water during a snow storm. I post them on FB and move on to the next subject.
Just found your channel Mike. Your images are outstanding. I love BIF and have a few good heron shots but where I live in Yorkshire they are few and far between. I have been hunting for a location within fay 60 miles of me but so far had no joy. My local nature reserve has one but I can often go and spend hours without seeing it. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Lucky to have a heronry at Britford near Salisbury Wiltshire great to hear the witch like cackles coming from the copse. Still haven't been to any of the great parks in London. Great to see how you got all those amazing shots over the years thanks for sharing
I was in a hide at Canterbury Stodmarsh reserve and an Egret caught an eel and I watched as the eel tried desperately not to be eaten but… eventually the Egret won the battle photographed by the other people in the hide. It really was a battle.
Great video, as usual. I find herons to be very photogenic and they never look the same. Sometimes slick and well groomed, sometimes like an 80's punk rocker with a mohawk 😂 I'm fortunate enough to have at least 3 resident ones in my local park, so they are always there for me to capture, sometimes fishing, sometimes catching insects. I managed to get a shot of one with a couple of dragonflies that made me really happy! (here if you want to check it out) instagram.com/p/CFugnTRABD1/? Thanks!
Stunning Mike ! Sadly, here in South Africa. You are most likely to be killed for your camera equipment 😈 lucky we have the Kruger National park, which is safe. You didn't happen to work at the BBC world service? You have that kind of voice ☺ Look after yourself. Have successfully subscribed 😃
I was expecting a screen full of comments from the worlds losers about feeding birds. Thankfully 99.9% of the comments are complimentary. Always one though.
Is this still wildlife? I mean sure it is because the animals are free. But feeding them for the perfect photo, I dont think that this is what a wildlife photographer should do... Captering the wildlife how it is without feeding them and getting nearly the same photo, thats real wildlifephotography for me.
Extremely skittish bird. Great footage!

Great video, as usual. Thanks.
Great footage, so majestic. 4 flew over me yesterday just before landing and it felt like 4 dinosaur's soaring above my head ❤️
Beautiful photos of herons. I am a big fan. Thanks Tracey
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely brilliant as usual ! Thank you Mike.
