The bird in the first picture is a Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea). If anyone needs help with the second one, check for a pulse! In answer to S.C. above herons often forage in tidal estuaries.
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along, along There'll be no more sobbin' when he starts throbbin' His own sweet song Oh wake up, wake up, you sleepy head Get up, get up, get out of bed Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red Live, love, laugh and be happy
I never have any idea about the kinds of birds I see. I know a pigeon and a crow when I see one but that's about it. Cute little fella with the orange on him though.
My post this week has a heron as well. It came to visit us at the float cabin on Powell Lake in British Columbia. It is an occasional visitor, mostly in fall and winter. - Margy
So...the second one is a robin? I can see that though it's very different from ours here. I wonder if their songs are similar. Ours can be very melodic.

I guess somebody needs to check my pulse (per David’s comment) because I didn’t know that bird . A robin I guess, from other (more helpful) comments. Love the heron surveying the kingdom. They really are the epitome of patience.
Hello, I love the heron but the Eurasian Robin is one of my favorites. They are beautiful birds. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. I've been away and now catching up with my comments and blog visits. I appreciate your comment and visit to my blog. Have a happy day and week ahead.
Because of his makings I would call bird number 2 "Rusty".
ReplyDeleteHe has a red breast, a robin??
ReplyDeleteI am amazed to find a heron near salt water or is it there sweet?

At first glance, I thought the title said "Saturday Oysters".
ReplyDeleteHello Bill.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures and great captures of the Heron and my favorite Robin bird!!!
Have a lovely weekend!
Dimi...
I have a friend in England that has robins in her garden. So, I believe the second bird to be a robin. Enjoyed seeing the grey heron. Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a Robin too! We have them here in the winter months! Happy weekend! Beautiful photos...as always!
ReplyDeleteIn North america we also have a robin. The name for our robin is incorrect and you should check the history of the name.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute little bird with the red face. It probably is a type of robin.
ReplyDeleteI too think it's a robin. A lovely little bird!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteI have been away from blogging for a while but those are beautiful birds and I LOVE your header- Hi to Shari! Hugs-Diana
ReplyDeleteTwo very different birds, both are special !
ReplyDeleteA wonderful robin! Have an Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMost of our herons have left for the winter, love to try and get close

Hello, the second bird is a European Robin... a resident in my garden in summer! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it one of your robins. They are so different from the North American ones! Love the heron pic!
ReplyDeleteHello!

What a lovely bird! The heron, I recognize!

ReplyDeleteThey're being very observant.
ReplyDeleteNice shots! The heron looks so independent out there.
ReplyDeleteLove the lookout heron Bill, but the wee robin is adorable ✨
ReplyDeleteNice shots.
ReplyDeleteYep, heron. One of my favorite subjects.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Did you see the photos of the crowds gathered to see the European robin that landed un Beijing?
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely. I wish you both a nice week.
