Green Heron at Wooton’s Landing

Graeme and I met early at Wooton this morning, and we had a decent day.

The light was poor under cloudy skies, but the Nikon D7100 handles high ISO very well, and the images are decent.

I was  happy to see the heron, and more warblers have been appearing, so things are looking up.

I found this Blue Jay on a quick visit to Sands Road Park.
