Caribbean Herons IIIa - hungover adults

Remember the juvenile little blue heron I posted ages ago? Probably not as it was quite a while back. Anyway here, at last is the adult form:

This chap turned up on our dive boat one day about 350 yards offshore. It immediately made itself welcome by throwing up a partially digested fish onboard and unsurprisingly spent the rest of the time feeling a little sorry for itself.

We don't know what happened or what was wrong with him but he flew off pretty strongly after a little period of recuperation.
