Night heron,ゴイサギ

In Japan, they either come flying to Hokkaido in the summer (summer birds) or inhabit south of Honshu all year round (resident birds). Some of them move south in winter.

Wait for the appearance of small fish without moving

Shoot a threatening look to a little grebe family

I think that Night heron to be a kind of smart wild bird which sometimes use a twig as a tool for capturing a small fish.

They capture small fish at the moment when they trace the surface of the water with the twig which they had in their mouth to a bill, and a small fish escaped.

Because water lilies grew thick, They do not see the surface of the water. Therefore the Night hero cannot catch a small fish.
