I guess they are very similar except, presumably, to other herons. Your new lens is pretty impressive but, alas, out of my league !

On the third picture is that the same tori gate what you can see through your window every day?, its seems pretty large to me, how tall is that? Are they actually using it as a gate, or its just like a statue or a symbol some sort of? Endre from Hungary:) Ps.: its so sad to see that poor bird with the broken leg:( <span class='jfriedl'>It's actually a gate, as <a href='http://regex.info/blog/2007-03-11/393' rel="nofollow">you can see here</a>, but symbolic in nature. It's 24m tall, and dates from the 1920s. —Jeffrey</span> Hi Jeff!
