I'm going to suggest that this is a little blue heron. I have photographed this bird on many occasions. I have some in my gallery.

are you sure that is a Great Blue heron? They live all over the place where I live, and I never saw one like that. My shots are not as good as yours -- but these are great blue herons

Thanks a lot Corazon for your comment, I have to say sorry because I made a wrong title, not a "Great Blue Heron" but "Little Blue Heron".
And many thanks for your visit much appreciated

I have never seen a Great Blue look like this. Can you tell me is it an immature?
