harmoniously live

most birdwatchers recognise it as purple heron..
for biologist (especially ornitologist), they know it as Ardea purpurea
but for of Indonesian people, they call it Cangak ungu.. or most of them only know that the object in the image is a birds.. not a fish.

i found them at Perumahan Cemara Asri, in Medan.. Capital city of North Sumatra..
they co-existed harmoniously (i hope) with the people surround it.
they lived at the heavily changed pond, now covered with exotic species of Mimosa pigra dan lots of grasses. the number may be reaching 400-500 individuals from this species at this site. And ... they lived with another obvious species, which are Black crowned-night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax/ in lokal language: kowak malam kelabu) and Cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis/ Local language: Kuntul kerbau)

this place should be act as 1 good example of co-management where people can lived harmoniously with nature.. well again.., I HOPE...
