Hi all. I’m usually quite good at this stuff, but this one has me stumped……been watching it for about thirty minutes sat on next doors roof.
I know what I “think” it is, but am equally sure that the bird I think it is is so rare that it can’t be…l
The photos are rubbish, but they were the best I could get. He has a grey/black beak, a prominent eye stripe, and yellowish legs, along with a grey body with a black top side. Now, to me he looks like a black crowned night heron between juvenile and adult plumage, but they are very rare so it just can’t be…..can it?
