Poss Yellow Bittern, Christmas Is

[Simon Mustoe <>]

Hi,

Last month, a bittern was picked up exhausted on Christmas Island and 
subsequently died. Photos are here 
http://aussiebirding.wildiaries.com/trips/10398. Thanks to Lisa Preston from 
Island Explorer Holidays for the info.

Given there is likely to be some discussion about the identification of 
juvenile bitterns on Cocos, I thought it best to leave this unidentified for 
now. Any ID comments to accompany the image at the base of the report would be 
gratefully appreciated.

Regards,

Simon.
