Observation details
Had initially though this was an AMBI with some caveats but ran the photos by Marshall who suggested a young Green Heron, which of course makes sense and would be much likelier given time of year, etc. Got thrown by initial impression of size and let my imagination run from there unfortunately! Bill and neck positioning in flight wrong for AMBI but right for Green; Marshall mentioned also that the presence of spotting on the coverts, which is sort of visible in some of the shots, is another good way to rule out AMBI. Anyway, odd bird at this location nonetheless and a cool one to see.
