Most certainly a Grey Heron Phil. Nothing else quite like it on our shores.
Some good images you have there.

Really nice pics.
I went out of late on a couple of occassions following Heron but didn't get anything as nice as these shots.
Is this a juvenile Grey Heron as the head is still pretty grey without the strong black banding, and the bill colour is quite dull which is I believe how you differentiate a juvenile from adult? |

Lovely series of shots of a juvenile grey heron, I especially like the third one where it's staring at a bit of down between it's beak  lovely close up! |

I have to say that I love Grey Heron, While the guys down at the local reserve are all in the hide lakeside watching other things I tend to spend my time on the other side of the little island watching the Grey Heron instead.
We have a large number of Grey Heron in the Midlands and just about half a mile away from the reserve in a country park there is a reasonably sized Heronry. |

might have been better for the mods to delete the whole thread rather than just remove the pics  i tried uploading the permitted 3 pics to this site, but they were rejected 
but thanks for the comments anyway  | | | |
