Black-crowned Night Heron/Nycticorax nycticorax
nycticorax from greek language:nycti-corax,nycti:νύχτα-night/corax:κόρακας-Raven

and when it is not night,
usually it stands,be in revery,in some twig,or in a abandoned boat of fishermen, as in the scene that I present,these birds stand still at the water's edge and wait to ambush prey, mainly at night

I have said again that I believe it have exceptional colours and his eyes make him separate in the family of herons

This scene was photographed in the lake Kerkini in her north side,on plava (plava is said the wooden without keel boat of lake, is slavic origin word)


thank you for your visit in my collection

have a nice day and good photographs!

hello Nasos!
I like this capture, where the night heron leaning against the boat, like a captain at the helm of his ship ..
great detail and chromatism

ciao sERGIO

Excelente encuadre, buen control de la luz y un enfoque preciso al ojo del ave. Buen equilibrio del conjunto y suaves tonalidades que le dan elegancia.
Buena semana: J. Ignasi.

Hi Nasos. You have taken this Night Heron with first class use of the light which has given such natural colours and catch light in the eye. I like the pose with the bird just staring into the sea. well done tFS.

Hello Nasos !
A wonderful bird I had never seen before, I like the long feather on his back, makes him look a bit funny. I really like the soft colors and the composition, with open space in front of the bird. The BG is splendid, makes the bird stand out so beautifully. Very well done !
Valérie.

A lovely shot of this Heron, Nasos!
Very well timed with great sharpness and DOF!

Hello Nasos,
This bird is a very impressive one. I didn't know it before I discovered TN. But evry time I see it on a picture, I'm impressed by its special shape and its look. I like the way you have taken this shot. From a certain distance and in a very vivid pose. Beautiful monochromatic impression of the picture.
Kind regards
Anne

Cool heron shot. It's amazing how he blends in with the background
