This does look like a Muppet.

Left side of a grey heron's head. It is lit from its right behind, so small feathers far up the beak are prominently illuminated. The background is very dark, from black to dark greens.

"The grey heron is one of the most iconic and fascinating inhabitants of the banks of the Kamo River (Kamogawa), which flows through the heart of Kyoto.
Although often referred to colloquially as the "large heron" due to its imposing size, its official name is simply the "grey heron." Unlike many wild animals that flee from human presence, the grey herons of the Kamo River have become completely accustomed to city residents and travelers. They allow themselves to be observed from very close range, often remaining motionless just a few meters away from passersby walking or cycling along the riverbanks.
It is not uncommon to spot one standing statue-still in the river's current, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to spear a fish with a swift, precise strike of its beak."
"Le héron cendré est l'un des habitants les plus emblématiques et fascinants des rives de la rivière Kamo (Kamogawa), qui traverse le cœur de Kyoto.
Bien qu'on le qualifie souvent familièrement de « grand héron » en raison de sa taille imposante, son nom officiel est tout simplement « héron cendré ». Contrairement à de nombreux animaux sauvages qui fuient la présence humaine, les hérons cendrés de la rivière Kamo se sont parfaitement habitués aux citadins et aux voyageurs. Ils se laissent observer de très près, restant souvent immobiles à quelques mètres seulement des passants qui se promènent à pied ou à vélo le long des berges.
Il n'est pas rare d'en apercevoir un figé telle une statue dans le courant de la rivière, attendant patiemment le moment idéal pour harponner un poisson d'un coup de bec vif et précis."

"Look at these two. They already know how to do the 'My parent is so embarrassing' face. Grey heron family values: dramatic teenagers and a parent who just wants some peace and quiet (good luck with that!).

A swan pair by the river bank. A grey heron stood on the wet jetty like it had claimed the whole lake for a minute. Soft water, almost-spring trees, and that kind of nice stillness.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #BirdyLongLegs, birds with legs that look too long for its body.

I caught this #greyheron landing yesterday. One of the best poses to showcase their legs.

#photography #bird

Stoney shore of a river. The rocks are tan and rather brightly lit. In the background the surface of the river reflects a rather light sky.
Left on the shore 2 gulls stand on the rocks. In the middle a grey heron is coming in for a landing. Wings spread wide, legs stretched out in anticipation of ground contact.

Surprise, surprise, it's not a Heron or an Egret but it is both. And yes, from Finland. Quality could be better but they were too far away for my lens 🪶

A Grey Heron stands on a branch facing left, surrounded by dense green foliage. Its bluish-gray plumage, long pointed bill, bright yellow eye, and long legs are clearly visible.
アオサギが左向きに枝にとまり、周囲を緑の葉に囲まれている。青みがかった灰色の羽毛、長く尖ったくちばし、鮮やかな黄色い目、長い脚が見える。
