I would be cheating if I were to claim that this is the approaching Heron landing at Gruinart. This picture was actually taken earlier during an afternoon in the RSPB hide. Not sure if this is the same bird moving around or a different bird.

A quite frequent sight at Gruinart, seen from the RSPB bird hide in June 2025: A low flying Heron approaching over the wetlands, landing shortly after.

Unfortunately the only usable picture I managed to get of it, a mid air tussle between a Lapwing and a Heron. I was taking pictures of another bird when out of the corner of my eye noticed a commotion. Quickly pivoted over and rushed to take pictures. As quick as it started it was already over.
