Two herons up high, in a conifer on the West Park lake island. Both catching the morning sun.
Although they were on the same bough they were standing so that the vegetation separating them meant each could ignore the other.
The paler bird, nearer the end of the branch, is an immature. The one with the darker patches also has nuptual plumes – the ones dangling at the front of its chest. But for some reason it seems not to be with other adult birds at one of the breeding sites locally.
