... well sort of LOL. A Striated Heron walked down the weir wall through some running water (like a waterfall) then came out into the open.

Bit late on parade today... been rather busy! Can settle down now LOL

Fantastic close-up side view of this handsome heron. Terrific perch, pose, lighting, focus, feather detail, and eye contact. Top-marks D!
