When found in rural areas Herons can get used to humans, in some cases to such a degree they can be hand feed.
These pictures where captured in the wild, and getting these shoots took quite a lot of patience.
The pictures where taken at the end of the mating season, where two adults and two young ones would come to this little inlet almost every day.
I used a hunting hide I had set up and left there for a few days so they would get used to it not being a threat.
Whilst in my hide I finally managed to get close enough to get some good photos with my trusty Sigma 150-600mm on my Canon R7.
But one little noise or quick motion from me and puff! They would take off and not show themselves for the rest of that day..
