Saw around 6 of them there but only 4 on the pond, others sleep together with the egret in the pond side so hard to tell actaul number of them.

I saw 20 BFS at a pond outside of MP at around 1430 on 1Feb.

Unfortunately, after 5 minutes or so, a helicopter flew over the pond, probably going to extinguish a hill fire somewhere. The BFSs all flew to the pond side as you described.
