Beskrivelse: The bird was originally reported on July 18 as a Squacco Heron (Ardeola ralloides). The following morning the true identity was revealed. It was a Chinese Pond Heron (Ardeola bacchuc). The status of this individual is uncertain at present. The three previous European records have all been considered of captive origin. The bird was very timid and it was visible for fleeting moments only. The picture is a collage of 100% crops of two photographs.
