The Silent Sentinel: Grey Heron at Lock 1, Rochdale Canal

A striking close-up of a Grey Heron standing patiently on the stone edge of Lock 1 along the Rochdale Canal in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire. This portrait captures the bird's elegant plumage and focused gaze against a backdrop of lush green foliage and traditional canal stonework. A perfect moment of urban wildlife thriving in the heart of the Calder Valley.

I took this in August 2023 with a Nikon d3300, you can see many more of my images on my blog at www.colingreenphotography.co.uk
