| | | Diving Heron
Hi folks, I was watching this Heron hoping it would come up with a huge fish like in other threads on here, but it came up with a tiddler 
I thought I`d share the photos anyway, I was pleased with the diving shot  I`m not sure what marks he would get for style though

When you compare it to a gannets dive its more like a belly flop. |

Great photo! It almost looks like it's toppled over awkwardly, or like the image has been rotated 90 degrees.
The way it's maintained its vertical standing posture even whilst diving, is hilarious! |
