Grey Heron

Of course, it’s actually only half a Heron, but one tries to make the best of what one’s got (I also have whole Herons in my portfolio, but I like the dynamics of this specimen, shot just before it could get away). In my youth, Herons could be found, but they seem to have been much rarer than today. They’re majestic birds, admirable to anyone who’s not a frog.
