Daily wildlife photography: the grey heron, Ardea cinerea. I love the way herons stay motionless in the shallow water, waiting for the next meal to approach; I think this one had her eyes already fixed on target! They're the biggest herons in portuguese avifauna, if I'm not mistaken; and can easily be identified by their size and grey plummage. Photos taken near Peniche, Portugal.
