As I mentioned in the previous post, my vigilance at the nesting tree of these Night herons paid off and I managed to photograph these birds.
The first photograph is of a juvenile Night heron, and looks somewhat like the Indian pond Heron. The birds spend the daytime resting on trees, which are very leafy and far from water and at dusk fly out to their accustomed feeding ground to hunt for crabs, fish , frogs and other aquatic insects.
