Grey Heron

A beautiful shot. The neat black belly band is a strange feature to see on a Grey Heron. Explanations are welcome.

On adult Grey Herons, a black line separates the grey flanks from the white abdomen - always.

I looked for, but failed to find, a picture of a Grey Heron where the two black lines are connected across the vent - that is why I thought it unusual. Thanks for your comment. Dick
