Nankeen Night-heron -Adults & Immature (Nycticorax caledonicus)

Here we have two adult Nankeen Night Herons (Nycticorax caledonicus) as well as an immature bird. They are also know as the Rufous night-heron. They feed mostly at night but they are occasionally active by day. I don't often see these birds and when I do they are usually asleep among dense vegetation on an island lake. On a recent trip to Victoria I was happy to get some reasonable shots of them out in the open.

First up, here is a short video I took:

... and now two photos of the immature night-heron.
