Herons

After last night's fireball sunset in London, I was hoping for a repeat this evening for some silhouette images, but would any birds be in the right position? Luckily, on my first attempt, I managed a pleasing image of a heron leaving its perch on a London Plane tree against the setting sun around 1700h. Not as intense as yesterday but a nice colour nonetheless. I will definitely attempt more of this type of shot in the year ahead. The herons are busy building and probably incubating with many birds active in flight.
