Fantastic capture!
Many thanks for your kind comment!
How can you manage to do 7 challenges in one post, Babsje? 🙂 Great pics of those nests.
Thanks, glad you like the herons’ nest! My thinking about challenges is that I don’t want to spam readers, and so I’d rather batch photos into multiple challenges concurrently if the topics fit, rather than sending out multiple emails. So in this case, there’s only one Reader item, instead of 7. 🙂

You couldn’t hear the soundtrack in the background: “1-2-3 nod, 1-2-3 preen, 1-2-3 bow…”
What a wonderful comment, brought a big smile. Many thanks!
Great shots of the herons!
I’m glad you like this one, many thanks for your kind words!
Nice – herons are one of my favourite birds – when I see one I always think I’ve seen something.
