A Great Blue Heron In UK? I was reading about the Great Blue Heron before writing this post, and apparently it is a "rare vagrant to Europe". Not sure if that includes the UK as well. I'm no bird expert, so I'm unsure if this could be a grey heron. They apparently have a blueish plumage. Anyway, I was walking along the canal side in between Curdworth and Castle Vale in Birmingham UK, and there it was across the other side of the water just standing there. I zoomed in with the Panasonic TZ1 and took a few shots. I think it was shot in sports mode. Lovely bird to see in real-life. Quite surreal.
Just standing there catching some sun. Nah, he / she had other motives. I think it was probably trying to do a bit of fishing in the canal.
And here it is taking flight, flying away.
