What’s this then? Bird ID please!

I’m no ornithologist as will now become apparent. Not really looking for critique on this one, just wondering what the hell it is. It posed happily for me for all of 3 seconds.
It’s definitely a bird, I think. I narrowed it down that far. :shock:
Black Crowned Night Heron. Nycticorax nycticorax

Don’t know what the bird is but the shot is very good. I like the colour in and around the eye.
In my rush to identify the bird, I forgot to ask you where you took this. Night Herons are not very common in the Uk. good shot as well.
Cheers.

That was taken at a woodland local to me in Kent, England. I suspect it may be an escapee from a zoo or bird park if it’s so rare. Thanks for the ID :)
