Shutter speed 1/400. Not too bad, but severe bloom around the Egret. I wasn't the steadiest today too much coffee. Still managed to get mostly shake free long telephoto shots even with shutter speeds down to 1/100. But this one was one of the more interesting shots. (I didn't get the Osprey in the air, I didn't see it until it was too far away).

Lovely pose and reflection.
