Description
Years ago I saw something like this, looking out of the window, travelling by train in my country Denmark: At some point the train drove alongside a small brook, almost hidden by reeds and crooked overhanging trees. In one of the trees, I spotted a heron, lurking for prey in the water. Just a short glimpse, but great anyway :)
Normally you'd expect to see a heron standing in low water, but this one had found a perfect spot with great overview, and somewhat hidden as well.

Have a nice day
