The nankeen Night Heron is a relatively common bird in suitable habitat throughout Australia.They favor wetlands, coastal and Mangrove habitats. Whilst they do feed at night, they can be seen feeding in daylight hours also. They can be found in communal roosts in trees ( often Mango Trees ). The sexes are alike but young birds have a streaked plumage. I filmed these locally in SE Queensland. This bird Video is part of my channel started in 2015. My ambition is to showcase 500 Australian bird species. I am passionate about Bird Video as it Potentially shows bird behaviour, breeding and often bird song.
I began birdwatching when I was 12 and progressed to bird photography and then to bird Video for the past 15 years.
Originally from the UK, I find birding in Australia exciting and engaging. I have now travelled around Australia twice but mainly film birds in Queensland.
Many of the bird clips are taken from hides or blinds that I construct from bush materials, saving the need to carry a hide to a location.
Knowing bird calls and song is a big part of finding each species and naturally, knowing the habitat requirements helps also.
Enjoy.
