What a wonderful area you are in for bird spotting! <br /><br />I'm enjoying all of your blogs. Your sketchbook fascinates me.

Individual birds vary in colour - I've seen them much lighter than this, and a bit darker, and the black markings aren't always as noticeable. But I wouldn't describe any of them as blue grey.Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455233847655570892.post-44174533279146657182015-03-14T18:20:17.780+00:002015-03-14T18:20:17.780+00:00I have managed to get photos of herons before Marg...I have managed to get photos of herons before Margaret, but I was pleased with this one, because it is so clear.
