[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Black-crowned Night Heron (or just Night Heron in Eurasia),Nycticorax nyct6icorax, 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. During the day they rest in trees or bushes. The New World race is more gregarious outside the breeding season than the nominate race.

They are often found nesting or roosting within cities in avenue trees on busy roads.

Hello Szabo,
Nicely done through this water reflection while it is in flight. The Heron touched already the water surface a little bit further away in the background.
