Striated Heron

Provided flooding rains don't spoil the party again, only slackness will prevent us nailing 230+ species this year.

Striated Heron

Post by Bill Jolly »

It's often exciting to see what turns up on the first clear morning after a couple of days of rain!

A new bird for both Abberton and the TBO list, today Saturday, 26 May, 2012.

Scanning from the verandah at around 8.30 this-morning revealed a Striated Heron standing on the creek margin opposite. It made its way slowly upstream hunting as it went, and I managed several photographs, which I'll circulate.

It's also the first time I've seen a Striated Heron in the Lockyer Valley - bringing the list for the catchment to 326 spp.
