White faced heron

Previously known as a blue crane. Also enjoying a very full lake which is providing rich feeding grounds for the birds.

thanks for comments and putting us on the TP yesterday.

Love the complementary colours of blue and orange and the detail in the heron - blue crane is the most appropriate name I think.

@quietpurplehaze @hermann @soboy5 @bella_ss thanks for lovely comments, glad you like the grass/sedge as I was reluctant to crop it out (I liked it too!)

Love the tones of the grasses as well as the white head sticking out from them. Nice shot!
