Chinese Pond Heron

120) Chinese Pond Heron

Chinese Pond Heron, Ardeola bacchus, Puchong Cina

This species is found in shallow fresh and salt water wetlands and ponds in China and adjacent temperate and subtropical East Asia. They migrate to Southeast Asia during winter. Its food consists of insects, fish, and crustaceans, therefore can be found near water bodies throughout the country during that time.

Puchong Cina seperti kebanyakan burung penghijrah lain datang ke negara kita sekitar September dan beransur pulang pada April. Ia boleh dijumpai di kawasan berair seperti tasik, kolam dan sungai, malah kawasan lapang seperti padang dan sawah padi. Memburu makanannya dengan berdiri tidak bergerak menunggu mangsa atau berjalan sangat perlahan menghampiri mangsanya.
