Two herons, two very different moods. The first one had clambered up into the bare branches like it owned the place, scruffy chest plumes blowing about and that sharp yellow eye scanning the park below.

The second was posing in profile on the netting above one of the enclosures, side-lit by late sun that caught every layer of grey and white in its plumage. Fota is full of exotic species you’ve travelled to see, and then you spend ten minutes photographing the local heron because it simply will not stop being photogenic.
