Bird On A Branch

Walking along the river Po, saw this big bird, maybe is an heron resting on a branch by the river.

 

Without a long enough zoom, it was quite difficult to capture a shot, and basically I had only one chance to make the photo, because by then it would discover that someone is pointing something towards it and by instinct, it would fly away. 

That was what happened exactly, just one click and it flew away.

Location : River Po

Yes, it looks like a Great Blue Heron. It's very hard to get close to them, they seem to know when you're about to snap a picture!

Great photo and patience. A long lens is on my Christmas list ;)

I'll go for the great blue heron too. They are much less shy in the southern USA, apparently have made their peace with us....They are lovely to see and I do enjoy seeing their flight.
