  hi!
  the last time when the sun was shining in ireland… well… i can’t remember when was this hehehehe i’m just joking, sorry. anyway, that day i was going around phoenix park, in dublin, and i felt sourprised to see a real “garza real”!! this bird, it’s very strange to take him pictures, because there they are very shy, and they runaway at the same moment that see you.

  i have share this picture with my spanish’s partners and they tell me: you are hijoputa cabronazo (i put this in spanish to be polite, but better if don’t transalate hehehe) because in spain we never can imagin photograph an heron with 105mm

  that’s why i’m still laughing (friendly, of course)

  these are two of them

  Cámara NIKON D300

  Distancia focal 105mm

  Apertura f/5.6

  Nice! If taken in the Pheonix Park then they are well used to people, they
  would be in the zoo stealing the fish from the penguins and seal there!
