Chinese Pond Heron

Chinese Pond Heron arriving. Before 1970 it seems to have been a rare bird, turning up roughly once every twenty-odd years, but it apparently started increasing around the 1980s and breeding has been confirmed. Javan Pond Heron, said to be strongly sedentary, is also on the rise, so it might follow the same path. Maybe Indian Pond Heron will be next to increase. ^^;
