Stick Your Neck Out

I immediately thought of this expression when I saw this Great Egret in a tree at Delta Ponds.

Here is what Cambridge Dictionaries Online says about the phrase - "stick your neck out: › to take a risk: I’m really sticking my neck out by investing my money in this idea."

Nikon D800 ,Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR
1/1600s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso640
DX lens shot in full frame mode using a Kenko 1.4X teleconverter full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
