The White Heron

Photographed by Kim Free

I was unbelievably lucky to encounter this stunning bird at wetlands on the West Coast, NZ one early morning. I have struggled in the past to be able to get a clear shot of the heron as they tend to take off as soon as they see someone near. This one was not interested that I was I there and continued on its focus looking for food.
