After never seeing White Necked Herons in SE
Qld, only out West a couple of times around Currawinya NP, I have seen three in
the last two weekends. A pair feeding by the roadside near Jacobs Well
(just south of Brisbane) the weekend before last, an adult and a juvenile.
They did not mind me doing a couple of U turns when forced to move on by traffic
behind me (no where to pull off the road) so I had very good sightings of them
standing, and then flying.
This weekend I sighted another by the Bruce
Highway near Caloundra.
Amazing what you find when you are not actually
looking.
