Great image BTW.

P.S. Leon, some advice re; the book Secure a copy of Neville Cayley's 'What Bird Is That', the paperback Field Guide will fit anywhere and is user friendly. An oldie but a goodie  |
Sorry Greg but I think Jeff is correct.
A Black Bittern usually has brown legs not yellow. In addition a Black Bittern usually does not have the yellow flash in front of its eyes.
Looks just like a Mangrove Heron to me.
Cheers,
