PESO: Woodpecker
So I finally got out of the house to make some photographs. I made good use of the bag for the 600/4 I received as a gift from someone here on the list. It works a treat. Went down to Shelley Lake in Raleigh to photograph the eagles' nest. While I was down there waiting for something to happen, this guy showed up: https://flic.kr/p/2pGyX95 Not really sharp because I was shooting through a lot of foliage.

Re: Grey Heron (continued)
Interesting. The African sub-species has black legs all the year round. The yellow bill darkens partly during the breeding season. We have another slightly smaller one here (the Yellowbilled Egret - still much bigger than the Little Egret) which is more like the one you describe. I'll be on the look out!

Re: Grey Heron (continued)
Mike, this is somewhat spooky, because your posts always end up in my spam box, which I egret. However, I have given up to bother about mail problems.
