Hi all
I'd better point out that I'm not suggesting that Keith Fisher's photo
of the adult heron is of the 'same' birds as the others - just that it is
one of the 'funny herons'. As some of you have pointed out, there
are significant differences between the adult and the (apparent)
immatures. As well, there have been other "funny adults" that have
been seen, but which have differed in being less grey on the
upperparts and soft parts. Hopefully the photo of the adult bird will
make possible some kind of conclusions, as it is a very distinctive.
Cheers
Niven
