Australian Little Bittern back at Edithvale Wetlands, Victoria.

["Mike Carter" <>]

At 7.40 pm yesterday, Sunday 10.10.10, whilst standing on the viewing 
platform outside the fence adjacent the hide at the Edithvale Wetlands, SE 
of Melbourne, David Stabb saw a Little Bittern fly low across the water from 
a patch of ribbon rush at the eastern end of the near island to the 
phragmatis clump beside the hide (left to right). He saw the shape well but 
not the plumage in the fading light. He waited till well after dark but 
didn't see it again and did not hear it call. Such movement at dusk is 
typical of the species.
Please note that due to safety concerns regarding the structure of the hide, 
it will not be open in the foreseeable future.
