Postscript to my message below.
Wildcare have called back and it appears their bird person is away. I
have been advised to drop it off to West Queanbeyan Vet tomorrow and they will
take care of it. I would be much happier if the bird was to go to someone
who knew what they were doing. I dropped an injured Black Falcon to
the local vet a few years ago and they promptly euthanized it.

Sadly the Little Bittern that we saw and reported yesterday
has fallen victim to (I suspect) a free running dog. It is alive but
injured and unable to fly. One of my neighbours found it beside the
walking path behind his house a short time ago. I have the bird in my
possession and have rung Wildcare and am waiting for their bird person to call
back. Does anyone have any good ideas on what we should do with it.
My phone number is 6255 8716.
