    Default Grey Heron in Flight - Ardea cinerea

    I've not seen one of these in flight before so at first I thought that it might be a raptor.
    There's something about the blank look in their eyes that makes me wonder if they are drugged up, though

    They are MUCH more interesting n flight than when they do their statue impression. The shape of the wings is stunning.

    Pure chance - I was by the side of the canal with trees on either side, so it came out of no-where and I got little chance to make any decisions... I was just lucky to already have the camera out even though I was not at my intended destination.. but I'm very happy at having got one of the 2 shots pretty much in focus.
