Bird counting, Dairy Flat this afternoon

[Denise Kay via Canberrabirds <>]

I received this one in last week found on the ground under powerlines in McGregor, initially thought it was an Intermediate but it had an orange spot on the top of its head , now you mention cattle Egrets could I have improperly identified it .Released to Giralang pond no injuries evident the following day . I considered the McGregor powerlines location risky. And I’m pleased Dairy Flat road is still referred to as Dairy Flat road 😊.

All Cattle Egrets, Steve, no breeding colour I could see.  2 smaller flocks joined to make that large one.   g

Nice, Geoffrey. For those of us with ordinary monitors, can you please let us know which egret that is? I can’t blow up the image sufficiently without degradation.

 

Thanks

 

Steve
