Bird in focus: Chinese Pond-Heron
When: Summer 2005
Where: A pond in Beijing
Photographer: Yang Hua

A Chinese Pond-Heron hunts for food. This kind of heron is commonly seen around ponds in Beijing, and at paddy fields. It waits, poised still, like a sniper, waiting for the preys to come, and then BANG – in one rapid movement the heron achieves its kill.
