Field Notes

Description:

The Malayan Night Heron (Gorsachius melanolophus) also known as Malaysian Night Heron, is a medium-sized heron. It is distributed in south, east and southeast Asia, breeding in India, Taiwan, China and the Philippines.

Notes:

A big bird I discovered in my campus. Large as a hen's size, and looks like a pidgeotto in Pokémon!
