I originally had this labelled "egret". I grew up in Texas, where egrets are common in cowfields, and this bird looked like an egret to me. No suprise that an egret wouldn't be found in London, I guess. London, October 1999. Canon EOS Elan IIe, 100-300mm lens.1/14/2001. Resolution: 1446x1243.

It is a Grey Heron..prolific along the western reaches of the River Thames.and there are colonies of Little Egrets along parts of the south coast of England. (4/25/2005, 3:46 PM)
I doubt it is a Blue Heron as they are native to the Americas. It is probably a Grey Heron, common in England. Very good picture though. (4/18/2005, 2:26 AM)
There was news recently of a colony in Michigan that got slammed by a hail storm. Dozens of herons were found dead. (6/3/2004, 5:57 PM)
