Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are much appreciated.

Nice capture and he looks very sharp. Too bad he is beginning to turn away. I think I would eliminate the reflection in the water and think it could another round of noise reduction. TFS

Nice exposure and sharpness, Satish. Comp is good too.
As Nick said, the bird being angled away hurts the image.
For a Pond Heron in flight, I would have traded some of that SS for a lower ISO to reduce noise.
