[Video] The Agami Heron: a little-known bird

In 2002, the largest colony of Agami Herons in the world was discovered in French Guiana, in the nature reserve of the Kaw-Roura Marshes. Secretive and nocturnal, this bird remains particularly poorly known. As part of the Life+ Cap DOM programme, Argos transmitters have been attached to about ten of these birds. This will enable us to learn more about them and thus help us devise an initial approach to the species’ conservation.
