It would appear that birdwatchers and bird photographers are not the only ones who indulge in baiting wildlife.

At the Singapore Botanic Gardens a Little Heron (Butorides striatus) was recently caught red-handed indulging in such activities (screen grabs above and below).

Apparently this was not the first time this heron was doing so.

It was documented as early as March 2006 and it would have been going on all along.

Hahahaha!!! When I first saw the headline I was shocked; I thought, “What?! Now we’re getting poachers at Botanic Gardens?!” (Add to that, the picture of the “culprit” was censored!) What a sneaky and humorous article!
