This morning, during a short walk along a track through knee-high grass adjacent to the Belconnen horse paddocks, we were startled when a White-faced Heron flushed from nearby and uttered a loud guttural croak as it flew away heavily before us. I believe this is the first time I’ve heard this species call.
