These images were taken early this morning in dull overcast light. Given the long distance and low light, I was pleased with the results. The ISO was set to 1250 and they were taken with a D300s.
Both these species in recent years have been regular at this site. The Purple Herons always feed in the same area on the south side of the island and roost in the tall trees. Five years ago, two were present though no breeding occurred. Purple Heron is an annual vagrant to Cornwall, with records in Spring and Autumn.
