Comment | Found throughout Australia, this nomadic heron is quite common in the southern part of Western Australia, but not always a bird you can readily get to see. Firstly, it is often very shy around people, and secondly its presence will be dictated by rainfall. Perhaps a dry year elsewhere will bring it to Perth wetlands in numbers; in any case I believe their numbers have increased around Perth in recent years, as I did not often see it prior to 2010. Anyway, in 2013 we had an irruption of these birds to such an extent that in competing for nesting sites and feeding grounds, they moved in among people and lost most of their shyness by force majeure. This bird was raising young at a small, suburban lake in the inner Perth Metro area. (The original image is in ‘landscape format’). Lake Claremont; GPS. Status: Least Concern | ||||||||||||||||||
