But for a slight difference in tint, this is a very close cousin of the Great Blue Heron. A nice flight image. I like that you caught it before it flew by! Which is where I usually catch up to them... :frown:

Hello Rob

Good capture with excellent wings!

Is this Grey Heron ?

Colours seem different than our GBH?
