Miss Marge Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I found one more picture I snapped in Ypres, Belgium in March 2023. Not sure if this is a Bittern or Heron. Maybe someone else can use their expertise to identify? Cloudy day. Not the best picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 59 minutes ago, Birds are cool said: Gray Heron Agree. The legs are too long for Great Bittern, and blown up on my laptop the underparts appear gray rather than brown. Bitterns are shy marsh dwellers that rarely fly as high as Grey/Gray Herons, and (based on eBird reports) are unlikely to be found near Yrpes.
