Black Bittern in Townsville

[Ian Montgomery <>]

There was a Black Bittern in the Palmetum in Townsville at dusk 
yesterday (Tues 11th) evening.  I disturbed it near the footbridge over 
the creek behind the cafe at the main entrance.  It flew over to the 
nearest of the ponds in the "wetlands habitat" and, later on, flew away 
from there in an easterly direction.
Cheers,
Ian
