Summary[edit]

Description

ESO’s new webcams are being enjoyed by people across the world — and it seems the local wildlife can’t resist taking a peek either. One of the cameras at Paranal Observatory in Chile recently played host to a cattle egret (a type of heron), which chose to settle on the enclosure of one of the Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs) comprising ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) Observatory. Thankfully the AT was dormant, waiting for nightfall to begin observing.
