BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON // NYCTICORAX NYCTICORAX (58-65cm)
GAMBIA FEB 2019
===============
GENERALLY active at dusk, flying from the roost on large rounded owl-like wings, with harsh croaks. Favors fresh and brackish watercourses, with adjacent dense tree cover. AT FIRST LIGHT from my apartment balcony three pairs could be see at the top of the mangroves each day, then as soon as the sun was visible they dropped down into the dense cover for the rest of the day. This was the best I could manage, a bit distant, but one amazing heron, hope you enjoy this one.
======================
THANK YOU for your visit and kind comments, it is always appreciated,, Have a new laptop and have gone from windows 7 to windows 10, and I am lost, with all the new teck, am now wishing I had the old one repaired once more, LORD give me patience but hurry !!!!!!.......................Stay safe..........God bless......
