Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax)

Well folks,
Been out today with my mate Reg Bell, and we managed to get a couple of shots of this fine looking adult Night Heron. We got there about 9-30, and the bird took off, before we could get a shot. We waited around, and it came back at around 3-00, long enough for us to get a few shots, before it disappeared again.
