Japanese Night Heron

Latin Name : Gorsachius goisagi

Site Name : Panaga

Photographer : HESSELS, Mark

Date : 0000-00-00

Notes : Japanese/Malaysian Night Herons have been recorded many times during autumn and spring migration in gardens at Panaga since first photographed by Jen Elkin on 28 Oct 1985 with the latest record on 31 March 2010 (Maskell). Although identified here as a Japanese Night Heron it is equally likely that this bird is a Malaysian Night Heron which has crossed the S China sea from Vietnam to get to Borneo.
