> The only other exotic tree I have seen them utilising is Monterey pine > (Pinus radiata). > This and the Monterey Cypress (Cuppressus macrocarpus) are most commonly used by Night-Herons in Geelong, Victoria. I've only rarely seen them roosting in native trees there (usually River Red Gums). Night-Herons and ornamental/botanic gardens seem to go well together - I have a vivid memory of 1,000+ Black-crowned Night-Herons in one big roost in the Kebun Raya Bogor (Bogor Botanic Gardens) in Java, Indonesia - various exotic & native trees around an ornamental pond. BCNHs seem less timid than NNHs from my brief experience. Lawrie Conole 58 Holden Street, Fitzroy North 3068 Victoria, AUSTRALIA Phone AH (03) 9486 4575 Ph Mob (0419) 588 993 Email <> |
