Grey Herons are easy to take for granted because they are so familiar, but they are far more elegant than they get credit for. I have photographed them in different parts of England, from clear early morning light in Rutland to drizzly conditions in Hertfordshire, and they seem to suit both. There is something very dependable about their shape and posture, but they never quite feel static. A good heron photograph usually comes from waiting for a small change rather than a dramatic one.
