This species, the Grey Heron, Ardea cinerea, is one which has done very well in the London area in recent decades. Within Richmond Park, there is a heronry in Pen Pond Plantation, and herons are an everyday sight - something which was not the case as recently as the early 1970's. For another view of the same bird, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2755107 Richmond Park is a National Nature Reserve
