Observation details
Found by Yuda Siliky who sent me great directions to the spot just when I was about to give up the search due to the coming darkness. Seen briefly from a distance almost in last day light at a stream not far from where Yuda first saw it (probably keeping a safe distance from the few fishermen that were there). Then, it took off to one of the small ponds behind the stream. First impression of a small Heron (almost the size of a Little Bittern) with a structure of a Black-crowned Night Heron. I saw it also in the next morning around the same point, again, for brief seconds. Thanks to whom who brought this find to my attention.
