Black Bittern
Coombabah Creek, Helensvale, Gold Coast, Qld
Immature bird watched in mangroves for 5 min at close range from kayak. Another immature bird seen from kayak a few days ago on 29/3/14, 6 km away in Coomera River above the Upper Coomera new bridge. Difficult access for both sites except from the river by boat/ kayak. Another Black bittern reported near here in the Coombabah Creek accessed from Tee Tree Wetlands recently.

Australian Little Bittern (Black-backed Bittern)
Parklake Wetlands, Bli Bli
One juvenile Bittern in plain view for most of the three hours I was observing (06:30-09:30). No sign of the adult birds or the other juvenile today, however, the bird was foraging quite successfully for itself.
