Hi Guys,

Not much time these days to go out and shoot new images, so here's one of a Purple Heron i took some time ago at nature reserve the Zouweboezem in the southern part of The Netherlands.

Greetings,

great shot very dramatic, with the mouth open and dark shadow underneath

Exciting in-flight shot with a touch of humour IMHO.
