Hi all could this be a great blue heron? Sorry for the grainy pictures but I couldn't get closer without him flying away. He has been feeding in the pond for a few days now. Very blue in colour, VERY tall ! Yellow/orange beak. Many thanks.
Grey heron. To positively identify an ultra rare species which is fairly similar, photos would need to be clearer. Nothing in those photos to suggest it isn't a grey heron.
I do have video but I will try and get clearer pictures for you. Thank you for replying.
Looks like a fairly standard Grey Heron to me going from those pictures.
As others have said this is a Grey Heron.
