A heron called George

I took this flying snap last week and it wasn't until I processed the picture I realised that the heron's head was not in sight. I can only conclude that he was on auto pilot.

Erm. How do you know his name is George?

His name is stamped on his forehead but unfortunately Colin missed it in his photo

Lovely picture mate, even though you can't see his head

Great shot

must be a shy Heron, hiding his face.

Thanks for the comments.

It is probably my age and warped sense of humour. In the flying world, the autopilot was christened 'George' and that is why I gave the heron the same name.

Apologies if I am teaching grandmother to suck eggs (should I use that term in the Bird Forum?)
