There was a magnificent Intermediate Egret in front of the Ardea hide at 
Kelly's yesterday evening - in full breeding plumage, with a crimson bill with 
yellow tip, deep lime green facial skin, crimson legs, and plumes on breast and 
back.  Of course, I didn't have my camera with me!

A Brown Falcon was hunting over the paddock at the back in remarkably 
harrier-like fashion, and there appear to be a total of 5 young Royal 
Spoonbills in the three nests, with the two in the lower lefthand nest now very 
close to fledging.

Happy New Year

Regards
Frank Antram
