Hi All,
A quick update. The Pond Heron (see below for details) was seen again at the
same site yesterday Sunday 30th March.

> Hi All,
> This morning (Sat 29 March 2008) Rob Berry and Gail D'Alton found a Chinese
> Pond Heron at a freshwater wetland some 20 km out of Broome, north-west
> Western Australia. It is in partial breeding plumage and I understand there
> is a good photographic record. The bird has since been seen by Chris Hassell,
> Adrian Boyle and Broome Bird Observatory staff. Any additional news will be
> posted when it comes to hand.
> This is the first mainland record of Chinese Pond Heron and follows on from
> one on Christmas Island earlier this month and one on Cocos Keeling Islands
> in May 2006. In March 2007 Australia's first Javan Pond Heron was found in
> Darwin. Autumn/late Wet Season is clearly a good time for pond herons in
> Australia!
> Cheers,
