Purple Heron : KNNR

Few record shots of the Purple Heron at Kenfig Pool from this afternoon, I had been in the south pool hide for about 45 mins when it flew from the west side reeds at 5.00pm halfway across the pool then turned and flew back to land and perch in trees on the west bank......
Heavily cropped and oversharpenned.
