Excellent, Joe; I love the near-far aspect of this photo, with two distinct planes; it's almost like a diorama.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

It is, indeed, a Great Blue Heron. And it's a fabulous shot of a very difficult bird. They are quite skittish.

He is in the UK; I don't know that they have GBHs there except by a fluke.

Possibly the same bird with a British name. GB Shaw did say the US and UK were two nations divided by a common language. :)

Same genus, but a different species.
