A second helping...

Whilst walking beside the river this afternoon I spotted the same juvenile heron fishing that I blipped a couple of days ago. However, on this occasion he was standing in the river which gave me the opportunity to set him against a more natural background and also capture some reflections. By the time I had set up my camera he flew off but fortunately circled round and landed in the river just the other side of the bridge so I was able to back-track using the bridge as some cover and capture him against a gorgeous iridescent green background. Apologies to the bird in question if you are a 'she' rather than a 'he` but my wildlife identification skills do not stretch to gender in the case of grey herons nor incidentally does my Collins Bird Guide offer any pointers.
