Good point Judith, but as I haven't actually seen the bird and as the observer hasn't said much about it's behaviour I can't help in that regard. Butanother aspect not revealed in photos is size and the observer, Tony Bailey, has reported on that. He says that it was identical in size and shape to an accompanying typical Little Egret also photographed. Using lengths given in HANZAB and the popular field guides Pied Heron is on average 20% shorter than Little Egret so just on size it isn't a Pied Heron.
