Probably not a Great Blue Heron - maybe a Great Grey if it was taken in the UK. Very similar birds, but head and neck colors don't seem right for a GBH.

Not a Great Blue....not a Great Grey.... just a Grey Heron.

At least thats what they're called in Great Britain. :)

Certainly a Heron.
Good capture!



The quality of the end result is not always proportional
to the value of the total outlay.

Or as the guy at the park asked me the other day...

"Did you get a photo of the stork?"

Blue or gray, it's definately a Heron.

Check here to see the Great Blue.

If this was taken in the UK, it's probably a gray heron, from what I've read.
