Very scarce in most parts of Manipur and even at the Logtak lake, where there were a good number, there were certainly not more than one of this species to every twenty of the Purple Heron.

I observed this species in Sylhet and in the westernmost portions of Cachar but I have as yet no further record of its occurrence in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar.

[Rather scarce in Dibrugarh. This species clings more to well-wooded and small river banks than swamps – J.R.C.].
