    This white-faced heron was focusing intently on fishing in the shallows.

    Fortunately I found a White-faced Heron a bit closer, so managed a rather better picture than that of the Osprey. That meant I could put the camera down and concentrate on eating lunch. It was about then I realised that Alex was having a chat with another couple of guys, quizzing them for any...

    Another one that blended in was a White-faced Heron. I still think these are rather neat birds. Although they're called herons, did you know they're in the egret family. Interesting, isn't it.

    A White-faced Heron was also at the weir to join the egrets. This guy not too far from where "Little and Large" were hanging out. Had a lovely time with my nephew and his fiancee (first time I'd met her). Too much food and drink and they enjoyed a walk round the hill, which I joined them on for...

    We then drove back down the valley to head towards some of Hans and Judy's favourite places closer to town. Outside a farm house still in the valley, we came across a White-faced Heron balancing on the power lines. Just not a perch I was expecting for this species LOL

    Shade-lover?

    Well why else would his face not be tanned eh? When we got back to the homestead, we had a last look at the dam, for we were leaving in the morning for the long drive home. A White-faced Heron was patrolling the shallows.

    This was the third heron or egret species we found on that stretch of river that day. There was a little distance between them, but I'm still surprised to see them like that. This is my old friend the White-faced Heron, one of the first I saw on my first day out on Ken's patch at Wellington...

    Once seen never forgotten LOL! One of those birds that are so easy to identify amongst all the worlds different heron species. This White-faced Heron was contemplating life at fresh water pool down on the beach at Buckley's Hole.

    I do think these White-faced Herons are good looking guys. We'd moved on from Eagleby, just down the road a little to the Eagleby Wetlands and this guy was the first species to be seen there - posing as if he knew he was going to be famous LOL

    I saw a movement and swung round to see a White-faced Heron flying towards us. He actually passed pretty close so my little bridge camera didn't have to struggle too much.
