Sometimes your everyday bird can be so special.. No matter how many times i spot a Grey Heron in my area i still find them gorgeous birds.

A difficult bird to take well, I find Jeroen. You've done well here, a very appealing image IMO!

A great shot, I like the slightly open beak and it's nice to see the heron's feet, they're usually under water

Well done.

Geoff.

The heron really pops Jeroen. Difficult to get something that stands out with such a photographed species but I think you've managed to do that.
