I created this image at the end of June. A pair of Green Herons had successfully reared five youngsters who had left the nest a day or two before I found them. The young ones were climbing all through the trees as they waited for their parents to return with food.
After photopraphing them for about half an hour they all decided to settle down together on one branch close to where their nest had been. The angle is steep and the background is quite busy in this shot but I had no way to get move higher or to change position.
