Chinese Pond Heron at Hythe
Chinese Pond Heron at Hythe (Lee Gregory)
We enjoyed some time seawatching together with Lee at the Bridges of Ross last year and it was last night on seeing his superb images above revealing its chestnut streak extending above and behind its eye, the extensive rufescent breast-side streaking and its bill pattern and comparing them with Dave Gandy's images from Thailand at http://birdingfrontiers.com/2014/02/13/identification-of-chinese-pond-heron/ that prompted us into paying a visit this morning.
