Heron

Enjoyed a wonderful bike ride along the Tyne to Newburn this morning.
This heron had some challengers for today's blip but in the end he was just too magnificent.

"What am I?" was a contender; by way of a little brainteaser for all my blip-pals with ornithological inclinations. If you don't recognise me, perhaps a picture of Mum & Dad will help, or a shot of the whole family.
