Hello everyone! A very warm welcome to you all! The video I have chosen for this post is a hilarious 2 minute clip of a news reporter getting nipped at by a group of ostriches. His laughter made me laugh and the birds were enjoying their few minutes of fame. Enjoy! :)
The photo I am sharing today is one that I took last summer. I haven't been able to get many photos of the heron here in Montreal...well, for one reason they are elusive and it is very difficult to see them, as usually when they see humans around they stay still like statues. This is one that I was able to photograph. The smaller bird further out, on the rock, is a seagull. You just need to click on the image to see a larger view.
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share.
Herons are impossible to photograph! Good job.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd seen that video before, but it's still funny. Love the heron. Neat birds.
ReplyDeleteFunny video and great photo Linda!!
ReplyDeletecongrats on getting the pic of the elusive heron! here's hoping you'll spot one this year too! :D
ReplyDeleteif there's one thing I've learned, never drop your guard toward ostriches
ReplyDeleteGreat video, one brave man, and the heron, super shot. Greetings from Jean. p.s. even down here they are elusive birds to photograph.
ReplyDeleteMy husband remembers the aggressive nature of a mother ostrich protecting her baby whe nhe was in South Africa....
ReplyDeleteYou caught a great photo of the heron! I don't think I've ever seen on in real life.
ReplyDeleteThat was such a funny video. The reporter had a very good sense of humor about it.
Funny video and I love the man's laugh!
ReplyDeleteTough tall birds!

ReplyDeleteAlvin Hall is very watch-able even in the face of adversity. Very funny. I love to watch herons looking for lunch. Have a nice day Linda.
ReplyDeletegreat shot Linda and funny video..
ReplyDeleteMe he reído con la curiosidad de las avestruces. Un abrazo,
ReplyDeleteHilarious video - perhaps they were searching for coat meal (oatmeal LOL)!
ReplyDeleteUn vídeo divertido y una bonita foto.
ReplyDeleteLe héron est un oiseau très élégant. Merci Linda, bonne journée
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Linda,
ReplyDeleteI am looking out of my office window in downtown Montreal and cannot wait for it to look like that picture again.
Big hug,
Giac
magnifique image du héron Linda..
ReplyDeleteet la vidéo est bien amusante..
have a nice day
igjen en flott innlegg :-)
ReplyDeleteBeing a reporter is dangerous work! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your heron. Hope you will get to see some this summer.
Birds will wait till you push the click on the camera and fly off and all you get is a blur or tail feathers. I have seen a few photo's of reporters getting attacked by birds. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat video and photo
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Linda, this was hilarious!! He was persistent though! As were those ostriches!! lol
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to get a photo of a Heron....thanks for sharing this.
It's good to be back after a couple of weeks away from computer....woes but a new computer put them to rest!
Great shot, Linda !
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
@Last Sunday, I met one of 'my' bloggers. She made a poem for me 'Onderweg' on her blog. To difficult to translate... Sorry.
It is a funny video. Fortunately the man was not hurt. They say it doesn't happen often but an ostrich can severely and/or mortally wound you if it kicks with its foot. However, this one was lots of fun to watch.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations observation of herons, Linda :)
