This is the only breeding species of the heron family located in Norway. I have never seen them around here during winter so for me it is quite cool to see one with icy feathers. I´ll guess the heron don´t think it is very pleasant to stay in Norway nowadays, with such low temperature . Neither do we humans.
Flott fugl og flott bilde. Nydelig svane under her også:)
ReplyDeleteSupert Ivar. FLott bilde med is på "vengan".
ReplyDeleteObservert en del av den flygende forbi her i det siste. Svanene har rømt pga kulden/snøen, men observerte 5 stk på retur idag. Ørn i fjæra 2 dager på rad, men ikke på minnekortet
Nydelig bilde men stakkars fugl sier nå jeg... Ser hegre bestanden kommer til å minske noe kraftig denne vinteren, noe sikkert mine naboer på andre siden av bygda bare er glad over da de har et dusin hegre par hekkende i trærne der borte ;)
ReplyDeleteha en flott uke med el uten kamera der ute i kulden ;)
Great shot...looks like out Great Blue Heron that we see in the warmer months.
ReplyDeleteSuperb shot, reflection and all! Such a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteSkal ikke se bort fra at den angrer litt for at den valgte å overvintre her i kalde nord :) Men det ble et kjempebilde av den, så takk til den for at den holder ut med kulden :)
ReplyDeleteStakkars,syns den ser frossen ut.Kjempeflott bilde av en flott fugl:)
ReplyDeletePent portrett :)
ReplyDeleteHegra har det kaldt! brrr... men enig med deg - utrolig kult å ha et isete bilde av den!
ReplyDeleteLitt kaldt å være fotograf nå om dagen, men umulig og ikke fotografere! :)
Nydelig bilde av kkkkald hegre!Svanebildet under var flott,jeg har også vært flere turer til Nedre Leirfoss for å ta bilde av de fine fuglene!
ReplyDeleteHi Ivar! A beautiful bird, but very cold! We have a lot of grey herons overhere. I didn't know that they went so far north.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image Ivar, your bird looks like what we call the Great Blue Heron here in America. They winter here wherever they can find open water to feed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird! We have grey herons at the river behind the house. And I often think it is so cold in the winter.
ReplyDeletebeautiful shot !
ReplyDeleteWhat a shot! And I do also think that this bird would rather be somewhere else than in your cold country. I live in middle Finland, and we had a very cold period recently, and very much snow this year.
ReplyDeleteYour other photos are great too, so sharp and nice colours. I,m sure I'll visit here again some day ^_^
Nice model.
ReplyDeletePaz
its breath taking!!
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful shot and it looks like the heron is calmly watching to see what's coming...
ReplyDeleteI like it!!!
