A Heron pictured on the River Lee through the bars of the Christy Ring Bridge, Cork. Moments before I got close enough, two other herons flew
away down the river.
Despite the rubbish and trolleys in the river it's a great sign to see wild life again.

This is the first of three photos which I will post over the next few days.

Excellent shot. They're around quite a lot these days, at every low tide. Although the Lee's far from pristine, it is encouraging to see herons, ducks and cormorants right in the city centre.

Nice shot. Have you photoshopped it at all - looks as though the background is deliberately desaturated to emphasise the subject. Shame to see the rubbish around - and the ?catalogue behind the heron takes something from the photo, though at least it contrasts with the back of the heron. I like it!

Thanks for the comments! I didn't desaturate the background at all. It was low tide and the river bed is very muddy!
