Striated Heron

Lumphini Park, Bangkok

I'm assuming this is a breed of kingfisher but my knowledge of birds is somewhat limited. If anyone knows the breed please speak up!

Edit: Thanks to Steve P for identification as a Striated Heron.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM
1/350s f/4.5 at 188.0mm iso800 full exif

As opposed to the heron shot you show in the discussion thread this one works perfectly as a sqare crop thanks to the direction where the bird is looking to. Both shots are masterfully executed. -Gerald

This is excellent...great detail, timing. The composition tells a story. I love the fabulous complementary colors.

Now there's concentration, great catch. It looks to me more like a Striated (Little) Heron rather than a Kingfisher. ~Steve

Nice catch. It looks ready to go after its next meal. Jim
