Yellow bittern (Botaurus sinensis) stealthy hunter - Mai Po Ramsar Site HK
The yellow bittern is a small species at 36 to 38 cm in length, with a short neck and longish bill. It has yellow green legs, an ivory bill (darker on top), a short black tail and yellow irises. The male of the species has a dark cap, chestnut head and neck, with a uniformly dull yellow body above and buff below. The female's cap, neck and breast are streaked, with a rufous hindneck and upper back and streaked dark red brown and buff under parts. The juveniles of the species resemble the female but is more boldly streaked, brown on its head and back, and mottled with buff above.
The yellow bittern is not commonly seen that close in HK. Often found flying between reeds to reeds, then disappear quickly. This time yellow bittern chose a small pond and reeds somewhat sparse. Track its landing point and there it is, skulking gently for prey. Slow stalking motion as though a stealthy commando. My new year bird, as this is found on 1st Jan.
Slow motion here as it strikes the water for food.
