real life garden ornament

this bird was calmly walking around my friend's swimming pool today and I thought he would make a wonderful statue

thankyou everyone for you great comments and favs. I think he is a White Faced Heron, fairly common around wet areas here. I would love to have one in my garden. It certainly pays to never be without your camera!
