Night Heron

Black-Crowned Night Heron (eng.)
Nathejre (da.)
Nycticorax nycticorax (sc.)

Quite common (but very unconfident) in Italy, I’ve never seen a Night Heron here in Denmark (yet).
These photos are taken close to a protected area near Milano, vith a borrowed TC-14E mounted on the 70-200 VR lens (and it works quite good).
