Hi Fred; the neck attitude and slightly bulbous head makes this at first look quite Crane-like, but I think it's a Grey Heron. They can show this neck attitude at take-off and soon after (try Google imaging 'Grey Heron in flight'). I suspect the bulbous head shape is just an effect of the photo. AJP
