Montrose Basin nature reserve.

[Havana]

Arrived at the nature reserve at 8.00 this morning, to find out the centre did not open until 10.30 and all the hides were closed until then. Apart from one, which was a good distance from the shoreline.
The only birds within shooting distance were these herons.

Very nice set. The one bird on the left in the first shot looks like he's in a major funk.
