Heron on Platts lodge just around the corner from my house. It's a regular visitor so is used to people, so I didn't even need my big Sigma (which was lucky as I didn't have it with me) and were taken from about 8-9ft away using my Canon 24-105mm f4.
The heron used to perch on the roof of the bungalow opposite mine and I got a few decent photos of it. Now it’s cleared her garden pond of all the fish it doesn’t come anymore.
I posted the photos before so I won’t post this time.
I haven't posted any pictures for quite a while...but today I have some pics of a day trip from Tuesday.
I have not been to Chester for 60 years.
Moving People(the coach company) were running a trip so I booked for Spindles and me.
Here are some pics of our day.
i hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
1) looking down on Eastgate from the eastgate clock
2) Sculpture in the Cathedral gardens
3)squirrel eating the crumbs from someone's lunch...it was very tame and I got very close.
4)The Eastgate clock. Strange that i do not remember this landmark from my visit all those years ago.
5) looking down Eastgate through the gate arch.
6) Coat of arms on the HSBC building.
7) beautiful stained glass window in the Cathedral.
8) colourful boats on the river Dee.
9) A bigger boat.
10) one of the beautiful buildings

There are more pics of the day trip over on my blog.
It was a pretty ordinary day weatherwise...very grey and overcast and decidedly damp at times.
But the drizzle was warm.
