Palustris,

Sorry, deleted it in frustration, and think it may have been due to lack of camera info on my behalf, as I have tinkered with camera settings and have managed to take some half decent shots.
Shall post later...

It is frustrating when you see beautiful wildlife sharing your garden with you and knowing the camera is tucked away in another room...drat.

Today i was probably a foot away from a collared dove who sat so patiently on the fence as i stepped closer and closer to him.

I have a pic of my Heron too, not taken as close up as Carols and no crawling on the floor was involved in this shoot  ;)   ;D

We don't have one of those - does this count??

It would probably be regarded as some sort of cheating, but Honeybee, if that heron photo (lucky thing!) was taken on a digicamera, it could be worked on to produce a shot of the bird against a nice sky background. I would try but downloading from here, the picture is too small and most of the detail has gone.

Your welcome to the original if you want to play around with it Eric.

Tim, now thats something ive never spotted in my garden  :D

I have just been catching up with this thread and am v. impressed with the heron shots.  I love herons and very occasionally we see one around here, I watched one being mobbed by seagulls once,which was quite a sight.  Its great we are all trying to get wildlife shots, I tried to get some the other dayof our elusive woodpecker but could not get close enough for a good shot. Got soem rather poor shots of a jay which I may try and post later.  I have Heldi's picture of a fox as my screensaver cos its such a good picture.

Carol, I have just returned from a few days in Devon so have just seen your heron picture.  Well done for getting so close to it.   ;D

I believe we had a heron in our garden sometime last year as all the goldfish disappeared.  I didn't catch sight of it though.  How lucky you are to see one prancing about on your lawn.  I hope it wasn't after your fish though if you have a pond.  :-\
