Squacco heron is a similar shape and size to the American Bittern. Here is one from Tanzania I was processing today.
They do have lovely white wings when they fly.
+1+1+1!Lovely shot, Jack. You can go to do your more important duties, but don't forget to come back to post more of your beautiful pictures.
Very nice shots.I got some today. Kind of happy with the photos of the Scaly-breasted Munia (Lonchura punctulata): for all these years I didn't succeed to get them out of the grass (well, actually I was very successful - they just flew away), or in the few occasions when they went on the branches above they were back-lit in shade.
Not today - first time! After that - the regulars like the Yellow-faced canary, Common wax bill and Cattle Egret. BTW the Vax bill is in half build nest...View attachment 184659View attachment 184660View attachment 184661View attachment 184662View attachment 184663
