i also saw roughly 12-20 Cattle Egret on the western side of Wonthaggi before
Christmas (most likely the same birds that Elizabeth saw) if anyone would like
more specific details contact me offlist as i snapped off a few pictures and
could come up with dates and numbers if required.
Another sighting of Cattle Egrets, again roughly 20 a few months ago, in
Victoria was a few kilometers to the north of Koo Wee Rup
