Pond heron

[Gautam Biswas]

I believe the pond herons are not sought much by photographers, but it is an interesting bird, becoming white in flight. While I was waiting at the edge of the pond for other birds and some interesting action, made the image of this pond heron close to the bank and eyeing for some fish.

Canon 1Dx EF 500mm f4 IS L+ 1.4xTCIII ISO 4000, f5.6, 1/2000s.

Loving my new 1Dx for its quick focus acquisition and low noise at high ISO, better be at the price!
