Animal Facts:

The Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), also known as the black-capped night heron, is a medium-sized bird found across much of the world, including Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa. Unlike its lanky heron relatives, this bird is compact and stocky, with striking red eyes, a black crown, pale grey wings, and yellow legs.

These nocturnal hunters are masters of stealth, waiting patiently by the water’s edge to ambush prey like fish, crustaceans, and even small mammals. Interestingly, they are among the few bird species that use tools, such as tossing objects into the water to lure prey closer—a clever fishing trick!

In the breeding season, their legs turn bright pink, and elegant white plumes appear on their heads, making them look particularly fancy. Found in wetlands, they are social birds that nest in colonies, often in trees or on protected islands. Despite their nocturnal habits, their loud, squawking calls make them hard to miss!
