This heron was photographed by Ellie king in Regent's Park, London, with a Panasonic Lumix ZS8.  Inner city parks offer great opportunities for photographers to get really close to wild birds and animals as they're very used to having people close by.  Ellie said "This heron didn't seem to be particularly worried about people and strolled down the path by the boating lake, right in front of me."
