Hello everyone!
I've had this beauty turn up in my garden a few times now.
Comes same time in the evening, grabs a frog from the neighbour's pond and chills for a while after.
I'm sure it would be an easy task to id him from these videos for anyone of you, but I can't tell! I thought egret first, but maybe he's a crane? Or she?
Thanks ever so much! Xxx

Unfortunately the video won't play, for me, anyway. But I got a brief look at the still at the beginning of the first one and it certainly is a Grey Heron, as KC says.

Another welcome to Birdforum from me too - I hope you enjoy your time here with us birdcrumbs.
