Rare Heron Spotted on Camera at Somerset National Trust Site A recent camera trap has captured the first confirmed sighting of a breeding black crowned night heron in Britain.
The bird, found across much of the world, is a rare visitor to British shores and its confirmed breeding in the UK was only recorded as recently as 2017.
The black crowned night heron's nocturnal habits make it difficult for observers to spot, but wildlife cameras have provided valuable insights into its behavior.
