Media notes
Breeding male - pinkish-red lores & flying low along with other adults (a female & another adult).
Observation details
Seen one pair - at first spotted an individual vocalizing & chasing another, while the later was just resting in water hyacinth 🪻 This was repeated frequently - flying in pair or in three with short resting in between, sometime on relatively high on a tree. All flew low over the agricultural field in the same area. Three continued this behavior for about half an hour. Didn't mind me being nearby much - which normally doesn't happen with Bitterns.
