Hi Birders,
Chris Sonnerberg queried whether anyone else has come across Cattle Egrets nesting in reeds. I am familiar with the following  rookeries where Cattle Egrets have nested and can advise that all Cattle Egret nests were in trees
Viz
 
Gillets Ridge near Grafton            Broad-leafed Paperbark
Seaham Swamp                           Broad-leafer Paperbark
Shortland Wetland Centre            Broad-leafed Paperbark
Toronto Wetland                        primarly Swamp Oak Casuarina glauca
Tuggerah STW                          Narrowleafed Tea-tree Melaleuca sp.
Almond Rd Swamp Leeton        Black Box
