This heron barely clears the surface of Rochdale canal in Middleton and furiously beats its lumbering wings in the hope of avoiding a soaking, watery surprise!
*Shot on a Canon 350d 8.2mp dSLR using a Sigma 75-300mm f/4-5.6 DG macro lens set at ISO-200, aperture at f/7.1, pattern metering mode and an exposure time of 1/400 seconds*
