The head is large, the neck short (giving a stooped appearance), and the legs relatively short. During breeding the back of the head bears three white nuptial plumes. The bill is dark olivegreen, and the eyes are yellow.<\/p>\n<p>Young birds are heavily spotted and streaked white, brown and orange-brown. As they mature, the black cap of the adult develops first, with the body plumage remaining streaked for some time. The Nankeen Night Heron is also called the Rufous Night Heron.<\/p>\n<p>Primarily feeds at night in shallow water on a wide variety of insects, crustaceans, fish and amphibians. Has been seen in trees above the water hazard at the 15th green. The nest is a loose stick platform over water. Eggs : 2 to 5 light green incubated by both sexes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6065\" alt=\"24\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lkcc.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/24.jpg\" width=\"536\" height=\"701\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Nycticorax caledonicus) Length:\u00a0 60 cm Moderately Common The Nankeen Night Heron is a stocky heron with rich cinnamon upper parts,&#8230; <a class=\"read_more_link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.lkcc.com.au\/cms\/about-lkcc\/the-birds-of-lake-karrinyup\/herons-egrets-ibis\/nankeen-night-heron\/\"> Read More <i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5833,"parent":6234,"menu_order":102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-5734","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Nankeen Night Heron - Lake Karrinyup Country Club<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lkcc.com.au\/cms\/about-lkcc\/the-birds-of-lake-karrinyup\/herons-egrets-ibis\/nankeen-night-heron\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nankeen Night Heron - Lake Karrinyup Country Club\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"(Nycticorax caledonicus) Length:\u00a0 60 cm Moderately Common The Nankeen Night Heron is a stocky heron with rich cinnamon upper parts,...
