Australasian Bittern
Waterhouse Conservation Area
Following Richard Ashby's and Hazel Britton's report a few days ago, we gleaned further info from Hazel, and found this bird giving good views as it strolled between patches of reed cover. We stayed in the car, but it seemed little purturbed by our presence.
