I thought those were Great Blue Heron's? Not questioning you, trying to understand the difference.

As far as i am aware we dont get Great Blue Herons in the UK very often unless they are blown well off course when migrating,the Grey Heron differs in being somewhat smaller (90–98 cm), with a pale gray neck and legs, lacking the browner colors that the Great Blue Heron has there.

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.or​g/wiki/Great_Blue_Hero​n (external link) and http://www.thesun.co.u​k …ge/news/article​567510.ece (external link)
