This seems to be a very good year for White-necked Herons near the
coast. They have been very common in the south west of Western Australia
since early May. This is unusual as in my experience they usually appear
in numbers in October / November near Perth (e.g. Forrestdale Lake and near
Armadale golf course). There were some last summer, but not as many as are
now being seen throughout the south west (many reports from Kalbarri to
Albany).
I assume that they normally return north / inland. Perhaps their normal
areas are still dry?
