- Dupetor flavicollis
Description
Placed in monotypic genus Dupetor
Identification
Black Bittern Ixobrychus flavicollis (Dupetor flavicollis) RANGE Tropical Asia to Australia. Breeds from south-east Pakistan, throughout India to Sri Lanka and in western Burma, southern China and Hainan, the Philippines, southern Thailand and Indochina, southern Malaya, Sumatra, Java and Timor. Also occurs in southern New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago and Solomon Islands and in coastal western, northern and eastern Australia.
Chinese birds are migratory and winter in Malaysia and Indonesia but elsewhere this species appears to undergo dispersal governed by rains.
HABITAT Densely vegetated margins of lakes and ponds, forest swamps and riverbanks, often nocturnal.
Shot near Sydney, Australia
