[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Black-crowned Night Heron/Nycticorax nycticorax,
(or just Night Heron in Eurasia) is a medium-sized heron. The name Nycticorax derives from the Greek for “night raven”.
These birds stand still at the water's edge and wait to ambush prey, mainly at night.
They primarily eat small fish, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic insects, and small mammals.
It is the unique night birds type, in his family, in Europe for this she is not frequent his observation.
He likes the regions that have gently waters with small depth and rich vegetation in the banks.
We can meet him in the reeds thicket that are found in the banks of lakes, rivers, marshes and more infrequent in lagoons.
During the day they rest in trees or bushes.
They will remain in Greece up to September.

One of my beloved birds, enough calm, it leaves observation closely, for this we baptized the little models,
photo it was pulled in the small tributary Kerkiniti of lake Kerkini, ideal part for Night Heron.
