It looks like a heron to me, if you have a pond with fish in it, it's probably empty now.
Life is too short to waste.
Yup, I'm going with grey heron as well.

And me, so that makes three.....
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
Grey Heron again.

I think I'll join in with heron! First time I've seen one perching on a rooftop though :-)

Hello!
Grey Heron for sure! i have one land on a roof in my street every now and then and it also lands on the house next to my mother-inlaws and just looks at the pool! lol
Hi.
I'll say a grey heron as well.

Herons do indeed perch on roofs in urban locations. I've seen them do this on more than one occasion.
Every day a little more irate about bird of prey persecution, and I have a cat - Got a problem with that?
Hi, yes I agree with everyone else, grey Heron.
We first had one in the garden in 2006 and I was pleased -until I found that 17 goldfish had gone!
Since then it has come at about the same time every year, haven't bothered to photigraph it since, we did not replace the fidsh, but I saw it catch a poor frog.
Am trying to attach some pics
isn't wild wonderful
Same reply Heron, but I have seen them on rooftops, I have also watched them on the shore in the rock pools with the waders looking for food.
Great photos Min - especially the last two.
Yes, what Squirrel says! :-)
