This curious heron was spotted at dusk in one of the backyards in my neighborhood. It wouldn't amaze me that there was a small pond in the vicinity. It must have been starving by being active that late.

My entry for Manic Monday.

PS: this image hasn't the optimal quality because of the very poor lighting conditions (I couldn't prevent that this image shows some noise) but capturing this action quickly was preferable above 'portraying' it with more proper settings,😁.

A higher ISO may have probably helped a bit...but it does look good on my screen...

Well spotted.

Bob, the heron appeared suddenly. A fast reaction was required before it disappeared, so there was in fact no time to change the settings already set on the camera.
One is never too old to learn however, so thanks for your constructive advice, Owd Mucker!

This really brought me a smile :)
And it is such a clever heron to pose in front of that lovely red foliage :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Getting the shot is the key SEA and you accomplished that for sure.
It looks young and confused. Great spur of the moment capture.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I do not see much noise Mr. C. - sometimes we just have to snap because of circumstances - well timed capture.
