Hi Jill and all

Nankeen Night-heron can often be found around Mordialloc Creek in
South-East Melbourne where they roost in Californian Cypress trees. One
overhangs Nepean Highway and thousands of cars per day pass within a few
metres and very few know its there. The odd motorist would need to wash
their windscreen.
