Nice flight shot of this guy. These herons are tough to get in flight, as least for me. It's sharp and you froze the action. The bird flying into the vegetation on the right is not ideal, but you can't control that. Nice job.

Nice lift off and you captured the bird in the frame well. Lighting is beauiful

I like the heron's position as well as the light.

Nice work, well composed. The bird is well placed in the frame, and I like the landing wing spread.

Wonderful lighting. Your timing was excellent to capture it coming in yet still separated from the tree
