FWIW, there were at least 6 Night-herons roosting in the usual place on
the western shore of Lake Ginninderra last night. The light was too poor
to see whether there were any young birds among them, unfortunately.

May I have 2 bob EW?
My memory - assisted by a scan of my past ACT Atlas records- is that
the lake Ginninderra Night-herons, which I have always taken as a post
breeding dispersion - have been evident in November(ish). Thus a
young bird at Kellys could also be a tourist from elsewhere.
That being said there have been reports of an adult bird roosting in
the willow opposite Bittern hide so perhaps there was a nest there?

I'm not sure whether it has any relevance but there has been a
juvenile Night Heron hanging around Kellys, as well as an
adult.....possible breeding in the area?
