Nankeen night heron Found across much of Australia, the Nankeen night heron prefers wet environments like swamps, streams and billabongs. As the name suggests, they are primarily n octurnal birds and the species genus name Nycticorax means ‘night raven’ in Ancient Greek. The night heron spends much of its time seeking small aquatic critters upon which to feed, though they’ll also eat some insects, small reptiles and amphibians. They’re obviously too busy with food to bother much with nest making as their nests are often little more than a ring of sticks designed to stop their pale green-blue eggs from rolling away. Show more
