Alan, I love the Ostrich family - I've photographed and kinda made
friends with ostriches in zoos but never saw chicks..!
The heron in classic pose is a keeper of course..
In terms of filters and light, if you were shooting in the old days with
film and in black and white and just can't be out except in that harsh light
red and orange filters help.. but nothing is beats the natural light
within a hour or so of nightfall or sunrise in landscape shooting
especially..
Is there some reason where you live that getting out very early or
staying out late is a problem for you because of your life style and/or
work?
Or is it dangerous/uncomfortable to be out at those hours because of
the variety and extent of wildlife there (from no-see-ums to much larger
critters)
that especially are fond of those hours and could be troublesome for
humans?
In otherwords, I have to agree with Ken on this, although we don't
always agree as you might ahve noticed over time :-)

Better light occurs around sunrise and sun set. Showing up around those times
would certainly improve the possibility of shooting under better light.
I’ve gotten up way before sunrise to travel to spots waiting for sunrise in the
hope that conditions would allow shooting in the better light. YMMV

Ken, you commented on that before. I know it, but unfortunately that's
what we get most of the day (rather harsh). Perhaps the use of filters
could help. Anyone?

We went for a jaunt into Kruger yesterday to check the state of the
rivers after the recent heavy rains. An overcast but hot day. Lunch on
the Terrace at Olifants camp with several Eagles effortlessly soaring up
& down on the slope wind. Jack Davis would have loved it! Scroll R

A temporary rock pool. Very inviting for a quick dip!

An Ostrich family with 7 chicks. An unusual sighting in Kruger.
A handsome male Grey Heron. Not quite as spectacular as your Great Blues.
All with the K5 & HD 55-300.
