„in flight“

I was standing on the city walls of the city of Maastricht when I took this shot.As they are built for defensive they are about 10 meter high. The heron was below me walking along the bank of the water. I prepared my camera as I felt the heron would fly away as soon as I would lean over the edge of the wall. So fully prepared I leaned over, the heron flew away and my slowish camera focused just before the heron was out of reach.
