Three herons on the south-facing side of an island in the lake at West Park. The one getting the most pictures here was a mature male. It was clearly visible standing in the direct sun on the branches of one of the weeping willows. A second was harder to spot, almost hidden by foliage as it stood deeper within the same willow.
The third bird was right by the edge of the water. when I first arrived. However, it retreated up the beach while I was getting my camera out, and was in the shade, half-hidden by the trunk of a conifer, by the time I could picture it.
