Media notes
Poor flight shot of flying bird (just left of gate against background trees), creamy-white wing patches and black primaries visible, but trouble focussing on small subject at long range against background.
Observation details
A tiny heron, similar in size to a Moorhen but when alert in the reeds with its neck stretched up, seems somewhat larger. Black above with a black crown, a greyish face and buff underparts. In flight showed conspicuous buff-white panels on the secondary coverts of the otherwise black upper wings.
