Cocos Keeling Islands Heron Herons Indian Ocean

EDITORS COMMENTS
Trash or Treasure? This Rufous Night Heron knows where the real party is at! Posing proudly amidst a sea of discarded goodies on Home Island, this feathery fashionista proves that one bird's trash is another bird's treasure. Who needs fancy feathers when you can rock a garbage chic look? Known as the Nankeen Night Heron in some circles, this adult avian superstar isn't afraid to get down and dirty for its daily dose of sustenance. Forget about those boring old fish – why settle for seafood when there's an all-you-can-eat buffet waiting at the local rubbish dump? Talk about living life on the wild side! Commonly seen by day, our feathered friend here has clearly mastered the art of dumpster diving. With a beak full of confidence and an eye for hidden gems, it effortlessly navigates through piles of discarded treasures like a true connoisseur. Located in the mesmerizing Cocos (Keeling) Islands within the vast Indian Ocean, this single island paradise serves as both home and playground for our adventurous heron. From sandy beaches to trash-filled havens, it seems no place is off-limits for this winged wonder. So next time you stumble upon something unexpected in your own backyard or even at your local landfill, remember: beauty truly lies in the eyes of this Rufous Night Heron!
