    White-backed Night Heron

    An uncommon resident and not seen too many times in a lifetime of birding by most southern African birders. This is one of a breeding pair that built their nest very much in the public eye, directly opposite the viewing hide at Lake Panic in the Kruger National Park.

    Yellow-crowned Night Heron eating a Crab

    This bird stalked little hermit crabs very slowly for over several minutes each before it lunges in on one and eats it whole. I would have liked a less distracting background, but that's where he was hunting.

    A Lone Black capped Night heron. Not on a palm as we see them in eastern India, but perched next to a lake, all alone, waiting to reap a choice pick from the depths. Ranthambhor National park

    Night Heron is a very common summer bird in North Italy and, despite its name, it's normally active also during daylight. It is often feasible to get very close to some individuals, especially using the car as a hide.

    Along the Fuengirola river I discovered a sleeping night heron in a bush overhanging the water. Could not take photos but next day I went back and found it fishing near the bush. Lucky me!
