WADER 19/60 - Yellow Bittern

 Yellow Bittern

Yellow bitterns are commonly found in wetlands especially paddy fields and mining pond with dense outcrops in Peninsula Malaysia. I always confuse with its looks with the Chinese Pond Heron Size wise its about a footer plus very much smaller that the latter.

Washed buff brown breasted with black undercoat wing feathers. Always will try to hid behind vegetation and stand still at spot and thus approachable to 40 ft if you are patience.

 Below is my latest catch March 2021 a Mature Yellow bittern  Sighted in Kelanang Banting Selangor
