Rohan et al,
I presume that Mike has twitched this heron after posting its
whereabouts to Birding-aus on 3 May. Do you know whether is it breeding
or non-breeding? I was having a look for Chinese Pond Herons in my newly
acquired MacKinnon and Phillips 'A field guide to the Birds of Borneo,
Sumatra, Java and Bali' this morning and and the non-breeding is a very
plain bird, much like an immature Striated Heron. If so I was wondering
if this is the most boring looking bird Mike has ever twitched?
Cheers
Alastair

Hi All,
Mike Carter who is on Cocos Island reports that the Chinese Pond Heron
is still present. He saw it last night around 5:30 pm. He searched for
it all day today and only found it around 6 pm this evening when it
again flew in to the same location as yesterday. He suspects it may
have been around for a while as it appears to be following a routine.
The phone cut out during the conversation but it sounds like it is
quite close to the airport.
Cheers,
Rohan Clarke
