[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This morning the heron flew around me and landed on small river in our town. Light conditions were not ideal, but I tried make photo with snow on background. In my town is about 80 cm snow layer and I hope the spring will come to our country in next weeks.
This heron lives in my town since 1998 and it stays over winter here. Often I can see it above my head or in water of our river, but today it was first time, then I can get its photo.

Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) - volavka popelavá in Czech

Grey Herons eat whatever they can catch: fish, amphibians, insects, spiders and even small mammals (rodents), reptiles, small birds.

Hello Jan,
I think it is a nice shot, good POV, but it is a pity that there was not a little bit of sunlight. TFS

Hello Jan,
Nice picture, it's quite gloomy and maybe a bit noisy, but the POV and framing are very good and overall the picture looks interesting.
WELL DONE!

Hi Jan!
A bit depressing in mood, frankly. I feel deep empathy for the creature's loneliness. Hope you have spring soon.
Take care.
