We saw a fair number of these Tiger-Herons. This one was standing in a tree, quite some way from water. It allowed me to get relatively close – had this been a UK equivalent it would have flown as soon as it saw me approach.

It’s mighty daring to allow you near. But it does have “tiger” in its name, so it’s unabashedly fearless?
With a fearsome looking weapon like that I doubt many lily livered humans will mess with it!
I remember walking along a boardwalk at a reserve in Texas and seeing an American Bittern in the marsh just to the side. It just stood and watched me as I walked right past it. Amazing experience.
