SYS...this shot is really beautiful! I like the brownish red color throughout, especially the nice background. The sharpness here is excellent.

Thank you very much Mike, when I saw the bird some kind of Heron was what came to mind, possibly blue heron. Merlin said otherwise. The white neck and yellow bill distinctive of the WRH, sometimes mistaken for a Little Egret it says.
