This is a common water bird, though it's not often that I see it flying in the open. It normally takes to the air in a low trajectory, making it a tough target to catch given the short flight and the featured background.
With the plain sky behind this BIF, it was fairly easy for the 7D MII to capture the subject in the air.

You managed to capture a magnificent picture of that bird. You really have skills of an amazing photographer. Good luck for all of your future work mate.
What a stunning capture! 🐦✨ The clarity, motion, and background balance are absolutely perfect — you’ve really brought the beauty of the Little Heron to life. Your attention to detail and precision remind me of the same dedication required in HT/LT Panel Installation, where every element must align perfectly to achieve flawless results. Truly impressive work! 👏📸
