An adult green heron’s side profile features a glossy greenish-black crown and shaggy crest contrasting sharply with deep chestnut-maroon sides of the neck. Its dagger-like bill is primarily blackish-brown, though the lower mandible often shows yellow-green at the base. The eye stands out with a bright yellow to orange iris, set behind dull yellow-green lores (which can turn blue-black during the breeding season). A distinct white vertical stripe runs down the chin and throat, often accented by a pale cream-colored line extending from the base of the bill.

Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule, suspension, and, until 1960, cantilever bridge[1] in London, built between 1886 and 1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry with the help of Henry Marc Brunel.[2] It crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and is one of five London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Foundation, a charitable trust founded in 1282.
This blossom is about 2.5cm in diameter, and the tele lens is a whopping 450mm (on my APS-C sensor). One of the advantages of this mirror-reflex lens is that you can get close to the object (down to 90cm). I had not expected this, but I am in fact using this lens mostly for close-ups. Contre-jour/reflector.
