A remarkably shy bird often found foraging in the thick reeds of swampy areas. The bird is smaller than a Pond heron and prefers to remain quiet about its activities. Its calls are rare and sighting is tough due to the camouflage.
I rushed to the area which is right behind my home after my friends spotted 3 of them in the morning. By noon, I could only sight one (I am not good at sighting though). And this one flew around a bit giving me wonderful opportunity to grab a good number of flight shots which I love.
Sighting of its two cousins found in similar areas, the Black and Cinnamon Bittern are prized by birders.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Not the name of the Falls, just the position. Leaving both the top and the bottom of the falls seems to have focused attention on the mid ground. This area is typically part of the narrative and not the story itself. So, I placed it front and center, making it the story.
After all, this is the area of activity. While the top will feed the falls, and the bottom will exit the falls, the mid area is a concentration of activity.
At the right of the photo, I have included a three-deck motor vessel, useful for understanding or intuiting the proportions …..
In fondo, sulla destra della foto , ho incluso una motonave a tre ponti, utile per capire o intuire le proporzioni …..
...real photography...
No artificial intelligence, no computer graphics... just a healthy and original photo ……..

There are multiple definitions for when a boat becomes a ship, including size, purpose, and other characteristics:
Size: Some say a ship is a vessel that's at least 197 feet (60 meters) long. Others say a ship is a large, ocean-faring vessel.
Purpose: A ship is a versatile vessel that can be used for commercial, military, or scientific purposes. A boat is often used for leisure activities.
Masts: A sailing ship may be defined as having at least three masts.
Deck: A ship may have a through-fitted deck, while a boat may have an open cockpit.
Weight: A ship may weigh at least 500 tonnes.
Crew: A ship may have a commander and a crew, while a boat may just have whomever is on it at the time.
Personal use: A vessel may be considered a yacht if it was constructed solely for personal use and has a combined occupancy of less than 100, including crew.
Submarines are technically ships, but they are traditionally referred to as boats. The original submarines were small and manned only when in use, so “boat” was appropriate.
Along Sunda Kelapa Harbor you could see Phinisi ships in a line, which have unique shape and the body painted in some different colors. Phinisi ships were coming from many regions of Indonesia, carrying logs, rattan, copra and other agricultural products to Jakarta.
When Phinisi goes back from Jakarta, it carries construction materials like steel and cement. You could see the hectic of loading and unloading activities that is still conducted traditionally at Sunda Kelapa.
On January 22, solar reports warned of high solar activity with the presence of two important active regions associated with class M solar flares (www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html). In the image on the left you can see the configuration of the active regions on the Sun's disk. Active region 3559 (detail on the right, left in the complete image of the Sun), had rapid growth and crossed the solar disk in the course of the week. On January 23, this active region and 3561 (on the right in the image of the solar disk separated by around 500,000 km), erupted simultaneously, generating a "sympathetic solar flare", produced by a physical connection between both active regions, which caused shortwave radio blackouts in Australia and Indonesia (www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=23&mo...). The large active region 3559 had a "beta-gamma" class magnetic field and more than thirty sunspots, while 3561 evolved over the course of the week reaching about 100,000 km wide and twenty dark cores.
Details associated with the day of capture: www.spaceweatherlive.com/es/archivo/2024/01/22/dayobs.html
The image of the entire disk on the left was taken with a "Meade" 80/400 refractor telescope and the detail on the right, with an "Explore Scientific" 127, f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. In both cases a "Meade" 575 white light filter was used (remember not to expose your eyes to the Sun or photographic equipment without the appropriate filters), a Player One Neptune-M camera and a Player One IR685 filter.

This coming Friday is Good Friday, a holiday for many. In the midst of your various activities, please take time to consider WHY the day is celebrated.
An old manipulation.
Are there extraterrestrials living among us on earth? What do they do? These are the type of questions humans have debated for ages, and after a weekend at Death Valley National Park, I believe I am ready to solve them. Speculate no more, as aliens are playful creatures who, it turns out, live in the mountains around The Racetrack Playa and come out every full moon to move around rocks.
Why you might ask, would aliens do this when there are so many things they could see and do on earth? The answer is simple: to mess with tourists. It’s probably a higher calling on their planets. As the legend goes, no one has ever seen these rocks in Death Valley National Park move. Nonsense. As the hit film Men in Black taught us, aliens have the power to erase our minds. Heck, there’s a good chance I saw aliens the night I took this photo. I don’t remember seeing them, but I cannot say definitively that I did not see them....

Seeing the hippo pools of Katavi was on my bucket list for some time. October 2018 we finally did it on a fleeting 3 night stop over on the way to Mahale.
The pools were not as crowded as previous years as the rains had been good an there was still water about.
We took a leisurely breakfast stop on one of the raised banks out of the way of the hippo and croc activity. The smell wasn't too bad from here either.
