We were crossing the bridge over the River Teviot in town this morning, when we spotted a heron. Of course I whipped out the camera, but just as I went to take the photo, the heron moved and hid behind a clump of long grass. He eventually moved back into view, and I was able to take this photo
He then turned to face us, so we had to wait until he decided to turn (almost) sideways on
We then walked on to the path along the river, hoping to get a better view from above. I had just got the pesky bird in focus when .... he flew off! However I did manage to snatch this photo before he flew under the bridge
I am off now to do some serious stitching on 'Sunset' as the deadline is looming!! I have decided (more or less) how I am going to finish the piece. I'll post some photos tomorrow.
