Parc de La Frayère, on the shore of the St-Lawrence River, a Great Egret landed about 100 meters away. It started hunting for fish and slowly moved closer and closer to the spot where I've been standing still for 15 minutes. After the bird caught a fish, swallowed the prey and took off. As I've been following it through the view finder I was able to capture the maneuver in a burst of 6 frames/second.
