White-Faced Heron
After spending about 40 minutes photographing a very small selection of the thousand or so White-Fronted Terns gathered at Plimmerton earlier in the week, and risking sunburn into the bargain, Flickr Friend Paul and I wondered back past the local fire station, seeking a bit of cool shade.
We hadn't seen the much-sought-after Black Tern - a first-time visitor to New Zealand - but hey: I'd only managed to photograph the White-Fronted Tern once or twice before now, so I wasn't too disappointed - especially since we'd had such a huge choice of birds sitting right in front of us!!!
So when we stumbled across this White-Faced Heron sitting down near the water's edge, well: it seemed a pretty good consolation prize!
Continue to keep well everyone, and thanks for taking the time and the trouble to leave a Comment...! It's always nice to hear from you, and your comments are always greatly appreciated...!
