| Description |
According to a local resident, this log is the favorite place for when this White-faced heron visits these Wetlands. Shot from quite a distance from the other side of the lagoon in low light, so maybe not a great shot but seeing as it's my first Heron I'll take it! White-faced herons occur throughout Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand. They are a relatively new species in New Zealand, having self-introduced in the 1940s. From the 1950s onwards numbers have grown rapidly and they are now widespread throughout the country, including the Chatham Islands. It is primarily a bird of rocky shores and estuary mudflats, but can also be found near the shallow edges of lakes up to 500 m altitude, and on farm ponds. Following rain, white-faced herons are often seen in damp pasture and on sports fields, including within urban areas. <a href="https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/white-faced-heron" rel="noreferrer nofollow">nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/white-faced-heron</a> |
