Wed 20 Oct Nankeen Night Heron Piltati Rockhole, 16km's E. Nyapari Community, APY Lands, South Australia
Sighting of a' type of Bittern' were reported to me by local Art Centre coord. Brian Hallett upon returning from a trip with local elders to this very sacred area. I viewed with 3 photos today to help him confirm i.d. and it turns out to be a N.N.H. - still a possible 'first' for this far NW. in South Australia??? Checked the Birdata map/sightings and found nothing close to this area.

White-fronted Tern, Arctic Tern Mordialloc, Victoria
White-fronted Tern: (3). Arctic Tern: Didn't recognize it at the time as it was quite distant and I didn't want to disturb the birds unnecessarily, but have subsequently identified it in several photos after comparing it with (better) photos taken by others. (1).
