A very gothic looking bird. Nice capture.

Re: Off to Build a Nest
Anyone who can ID this bird? It looks like a heron to me...Nice sharp shot but I did not see the EXIF.
What was that near his feet? Dust bunny or just mud?

Hi Larry, it would be useful to know which country (or continent) you are 'parking in for a week or so'.
Most of it looks like a UK Grey Heron, except for the brown patches peeping over the top of the wing.

The US Great Blue Heron has brown patches like that. Originally Posted by Dave Humphries

Re: Off to Build a Nest
Excellent photo; the only very slight change which I would make is to clone out those tiny specks near its feet. Probably little beads of water or debris dropping.

Re: Off to Build a Nest
I always like to see the water droplets but that's just me. It is a Great Blue Heron and was shot at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in NW Florida. Google Coordinates 0.106287, -84.154962
