heron
Mark and I spent some time today with this handsome fellow. He was feeding in a drainage ditch and unfortunately was not the bittern we had hoped for. Great compensation however.

I too think the setting is a bit messy but then that is its chosen habitat and anyway, the detail, pose and reflection make up for that. A bird I never tire of photographing.

A "BOGOF" if ever there was one. A very clever capture.
