Keeping an eye on us

This was the only time the heron moved while we were at the lake – to look at us.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/640s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso100 full exif

Your an intruder and they don't like that. One has eaten 2 fish from my pond.
