A request mainly for those birdos in Victoria.
I try to keep tabs on breeding by Eastern Great, Intermediate and Little
egrets in Victoria as part of monitoring these threatened species
productivity at their known breeding locations.
As these species breeding sites are generally difficult to access I often
use the presence of birds in BREEDING plumage as a pointer to where and
how much breeding might be occurring. To get an idea of what theses
egrets look like in their breeding plumage, have a look at Graeme
Chapman's website for photos.

So my request for those people who will be getting out birding in SE
Australia over the next few months is to let me know where and when you
see any of these egret species in breeding plumage.
Photos would be great if possible.
Thanks in anticipation.
