Photographer: Braeme Holland
Title: Catch of the day
Location: Intaka Island: Cape Town
Date: 12 March 2016
Description: Both myself and this purple heron were obviously playing the waiting game. I was waiting for him to pounce and catch his breakfast while he didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all to do so.I was still determined to get the shot and was prepared to wait. I guess the photographer needs to be just as patient as the heron in order to get the perfect catch. Eventually i think we both got what we wanted!
