Grey heron taking flight over shimmering water with wings outstretched

Capturing grey heron taking off from calm water with wings fully extended and long legs trailing, backlit by warm sunlight creating shimmering bokeh on water surface. Perfect for wildlife editorial, birdwatching guides, conservation campaigns, nature calendars, travel blogs, educational materials, and environmental reports. Providing negative space on left for text overlay, headline placement, or logo. Landscape orientation working well for full wingspan; close crop highlighting feather detail and leg silhouette for square or vertical use. High contrast between dark wings and bright water lending dramatic, dynamic feel for advertising, posters, or social media banners.
