Hate to say this Tim, and please take this message with tongue firmly in
check :-). To some extent I personally feel you've contacted the wrong
forum for this request. Here's why.

This forum spends much of its time highly critical of housing developers
and gross urban development, like that in Melbourne's northern fringe.
Developers, even those developing tokenistic wetlands and reserves
(often nothing like the original natural habitat) are more often than
not a bunch of mongrels who couldn't care less about the local
environment ;-)

As an aside I feel that the Cattle Egret is not really a good
promotional bird when it comes to Australian conservation reserves. It
arrived in Australia in conjunction with human settlement, and has only
established itself in Victoria over the last 50 years. It is sometimes
regarded as an invasive species. It prefers pastures, croplands and
garbage dumps i.e. those areas that have directly replaced our native
grasslands, wetlands and bush.

As mentioned please take this message with a grain of salt :-) I
couldn't resists.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi,

I am seeking (on behalf of a developer) a quality hi-res image of Cattle
egret for interpretive signage to be used in regional conservation
reserve being established within a residential housing estate on
Melbourne's northern fringe.

Any pics would be fully acknowledged of course.

If anyone could help I would be most appreciative.

Thanks,
