noted for some interesting behavioral traits.

Little Herons are often encountered at Sungei Buloh Nature Park, 
hunched into a compact egg-shape on a branch over the water, 
motionless but intently looking out for prey.

Little Herons use a wide variety of hunting techniques, 
but usually hunt from cover and rarely forage on the open mudflats.


Black-crowned Night Herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) – Pucung Kuak
Black-crowned Night Herons are small stocky, 
short-legged compared to other herons. They are 
handsomely attired in a tri-colour plumage of black, 
grey and white, with two long plumes on the nape.

Night Herons are very aggressive and steal 

eggs and young of other heron colonies.

Black Crowned Night Herons eat a wide range of 

prey from aquatic invertebrates, amphibians and 

reptiles to land invertebrates including small mammals.

Prey is shaken vigorously until stunned or killed and then 

juggled about in the beak and swallowed head first.

bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout 
temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa.

measuring 84–102 cm long with a 155–195 cm wingspan.

Grey Herons have long necks and powerful bills for a long and strong reach.

They can stand motionless for hours.
