Rare night heron spotted at National Trust site

A rare night heron has been captured on camera at a Somerset National Trust site. This stocky member of the heron family typically reaches up to 66cm in size. While the small bird is widespread across Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe, this specific sighting at the National Trust location is considered rare. The footage confirms the presence of the bird, which is recognised for its distinct size and global distribution across several continents.
