Canon R5 1/1600s, f6.3, ISO320, 435mm

Taken at a small campsite in Garlieston, Dumfries & Galloway. The water was still, giving some great reflections, and this Heron was busy trying to catch its tea. It was mid-afternoon on one of the hottest days of the year, trying hard not to blow out the highlights on the white parts of the bird.
