Tony! This is one fantastic aerial image of this Heron and so beautifully captured guy!
 
Wow, missed this earlier Tony - I wish my ‘snaps’ were this good 🙂 Don’t ever worry about the ’quality’, there are clearly some exceedingly talented photographers on BF, including some that are professional, but from what I have seen, there is a variety of styles, and abilities all with different redeeming qualities.

This Grey Heron makes a really strong composition, with dramatic lighting and a powerful fight shape. Good stuff!

That's a fabulous flight capture Tony. Very well done lad.

I've amended the scientific name you used, as that was for the Great Blue Heron, an American species of course LOL.
