    Hi guys

    Was down in St Annes park taking some photos today and saw this bird, the one in the back of the picture behind the ducks.
    http://pix.ie/niamh86/1581823/in/album/372296 its not a great photo.

    Just curious about what kind of bird it is, it didnt move the whole time i was there, around 45minutes and it was the only one there.

    Thanks

    A Heron and two Mallards. Herons stand motionless until a fish/eel etc pass close by then it's curtains for the unwary creature. Nice pic. :)

    Thanks Judgement Day.

    At first i thought it was fake cause it was so still & cause there was only one of them around.

    Ill have to get down there more often & see if i can see it in action. :)
