Birds Great Blue Heron Takes Off With Catch

[Clix Pix]

On our little lake we have a resident GBH whom I've named Alfred. Yesterday I lucked out and captured him as he was taking off with his mouthful of fresh fish:

• ILCE-1
• FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS + 1.4X Teleconverter
• 560.0 mm
• ƒ/8
• 1/1000 sec
• ISO 1000

Great catch and an equally great shot!

Thank you! I'm very pleased with this, as I often don't manage to get a good BIF shot, and with him having a mouthful to boot, a bonus here!
