Two weeks after the discovery, the young juveniles were moving around the tree in their newly attained plumage of dull brown upperparts, streakier and less mottled lower parts. A check on 17 March 2000 at the opposite side of the island revealed another nest built on the same species of mangrove tree and at about the same height. A pair of pale greenish blue eggs greeted me this time. The canopy of the Exocaria sp. seems to provide this heron with good cover and shade for nesting. Hopefully, we will see this species flourish in Sungei Buloh Nature Park just like the Grey and Purple Herons. |
