A tall elegant white bird near grey logs and behind dry grasses. Above the egret is a grey lump which is the white faced heron almost invisible on a grey weathered log.
Obviously an #egret, but also #whitefacedheron almost invisible. #birds 🪶
A white faced heron, a large waterbird, is making a small leap from one shallow patch of water, to another. Its wings are spread outwards, and its yellow legs stretched behind it. Behind it is brown water, reflecting a blue sky, and a mixture of green and brown grass is growing in the water beneath it.

🌏 White-faced heron (Egretta novaehollandiae) The white-faced heron (Egretta novaehollandiae), also known as the white-fronted heron, is a medium-sized heron with a distinct white face and pale blue-grey plumage. It has a long, slender neck, a pointed grey-black bill, and yellow legs. In flight, its dark wing feathers contrast with its paler body. This adaptable bird is widespread throughout most of Australasia, including New Guinea, Indonesia, New Caledonia, and New Zealand, favouring any habitat near shallow water, both fresh and saltwater. White-faced herons are often seen foraging solitarily or in small groups, employing methods like stalking or standing still to catch fish, insects, and amphibians. They have a slow, bouncing flight and may roost in trees or on the ground. Their calls include a harsh croak, especially during flight.

I saw this elegant White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae) perched on a rock at a Melbourne lake. I never tire of photographing them, especially when the water is calm enough for a great reflection! 🪶✨ #BirdPhotography #WhiteFacedHeron #AustralianBirds #MelbourneWildlife #Birds #Heron

Two White Faced Herons sitting on the fence at the beach
Lately, every afternoon, I find these two #WhiteFacedHeron just sitting on the fence watching over their fickle #ephemeral pond #Birds #Nature #Beach
There as an interloper yesterday that was quickly chased off, I suspect he was not interested in the pond though
