This is what I'd crossed the weir to try and get closer to when the flock of Manikins settled in that tree.

I didn't realise I'd get quite so close to him though LOL.

it was probably too concentrated on its possible catch to notice you, Delia, what a marvelous closeup you got of this beautiful heron, top class, many tfs!!!
 
A fantastic shot Delia. A brilliant well lit and colourfully detailed capture and close up, well done.
