I think this is not E novaehollandiae - the white all over the head and neck doesn't fit ? but I can't find what else it might be. (compare above right) Any other thoughts? Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

The White-faced Heron

The White-faced Heron also known as the White-fronted Heron, and incorrectly as the Grey Heron, or Blue Crane, is a common bird throughout most of Australasia, including New Guinea, the islands of Torres Strait, Indonesia, New Zealand, the islands of the Subantarctic, and all but the driest areas of Australia.
