I've always struggled to see why they're called 'green' Bob LOL.

That's a tremendous picture you've taken of this guy my friend, and it shows some wonderful feather detail too.

Many thanks for showing it to us my friend.
 
Great photo!
If anybody is interested that is not a Green Heron, it is a Little Blue Heron.
