Hi All,
 
I am a rehabber with WIRES on the Central Coast of NSW. We had a bird with wings tags come into care on 17th May.  It was seen to be attacked by a falcon, but survived and was released today 18th.
 
It had tags on both wings.
Hot pink over fluro green  No. 9 on one wing
 
Hot pink over fluro green No 351 on the other wing.
 
 I didn't see the bird, but from the description was either a little egret or cattle egret.  Was not injured just stunned and released at Bensville today.  Lucky bird.
 
Does anybody on the list have more information, we would be interested,
